- Description: A lipophilic and electron-rich metallophthalocyanine Mn(III)Cl(α,α′-n-OC5H11)8Pc has been synthesized and characterized. A series of electrochemical experiments demonstrate that the Mn(III)Cl(α,α′-n-OC5H11)8Pc complex can be used as a catalyst for highly efficient carbon-chloride bond cleavage of environmental toxic hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) through electrochemical catalysis, and that the increased catalytic efficiency is related to the enantiomeric carbon-chloride σ-bond of HCHs.

- Description: The electrocatalytic properties of a Co(II)octaalkoxyphthalocyanine complex (Co(II)Pc) with eight strongly electron-donating substituents provide the first example of the complete dechlorination of DDT through molecular electrocatalysis, rather than the use of metal electrodes which had been achieved previously. Interaction with a highly nucleophilic [Co(I)Pc]2− species results in rapid cleavage of the C(sp3) Cl, C(sp2) Cl and aromatic C(sp2) Cl bonds. Bis(p-chlorophenyl)methanone (BPCl2) is detected in high yield along with its full dechlorination product, diphenylmethanone (BP) and the conventional C Cl bond cleavage products, due to an unprecedented C C bond cleavage reaction that is followed by the formation of a C−O bond. Theoretical calculations are used to analyze trends in the electronic structure of the Co(II)octaalkoxyphthalocyanine complex that account for the efficiency of the C Cl bond cleavage reactions, and the reaction process and mechanism are analyzed in depth.
