✦ Synopsis

Tetrakis(trimethysilyl)phthalocyaninatoruthenium(II) (5) has been synthesized via the biaxially coordinated ((CH 3 ) 3 Si) 4 PcRu(3-Clpy) 2 (2) complex by thermal decomposition of the axial ligands of 2. ((CH 3 ) 3 Si) 4 PcRu (5) was characterized by NMR, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The trisubstituted ((CH 3 ) 3 Si) 3 PcRu(3-Clpy) 2 (3) and disubstituted ((CH 3 ) 3 Si) 2 PcRu(3-Clpy) 2 (4) complexes, formed as side products during the thermolysis of 2, could be isolated and characterized.
