- Description: Synthesis of new thio derivatised Pcs with manganese, titanium and vanadium as a central metal is reported. The complexes synthesised were characterised using spectroscopic and electrochemical means. The complexes displayed interesting spectroscopic properties with absorption of the Q band being observed in the near infrared region. These complexes have unusual colours for MPc complexes, with purple or red colour being observed in solution. Interesting electrochemical properties were observed, with rare observation of the MnIV/MnIII redox couple. There was observation of oxidation peaks for the pentylthio derivatised Pc with titanium as the central metal; this is unusual since for reported thio derivatives based on TiPc, no oxidation was observed. The vanadium based Pc showed an interesting spectrum for the first ring based reduction. The absorption spectrum obtained for the 1st reduction of the vanadium complex using spectroelectrochemistry would normally indicate a metal based process but comparing with literature it was concluded that it is a ring based reduction process. Generally all the MPc complexes formed a well ordered stable monolayer on the gold electrode. Electrocatalytic studies using L-cysteine revealed that the SAM based on manganese (III) octapentylthio phthalocyanine (AcOMnOPTPc) was the most effective since it catalyses L-cysteine at much lower oxidation potentials and it is also much more stable.

- Description: Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) based on octapentylthiophthalocyanine complexes of oxovanadium (IV) (OVOPThPc), titanium(IV) (OTiOPThPc), and manganese (III) acetate (AcMnOPThPc), and of tetraphenylthiophthalocyanine complexes of hydroxo manganese(III) (OHMnTPPc) and oxotitanium(IV) (OTiTPPc) are described. The oxidation of l-cysteine was observed at potentials which ranged from 0.52 V to 0.67 V. The detection limits for l-cysteine analysis were of the order of 10− 7 to 10− 6 M.

- Description: The synthesis of an α-substituted phthalocyanine oxo vanadium(IV) 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octapentathiophthalocyanine (4) which absorbs at 850 nm in dichloromethane is reported. The complex is purple in colour and becomes green on reduction. The cyclic and square wave voltammetries of the complex show five redox couples. The spectroelectrochemical data showed only ring based processes. The ring reduced species is observed at wavelengths greater than 680 nm rather than the usual 500–600 nm range typical of ring reduced phthalocyanine complexes.

- Description: The synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of octapentylthiophthalocyaninato manganese (III) acetate (4) and octapentylthiophthalocyaninato titanium (IV) oxide (5) complexes are reported. The complexes have an unusual purple (4) and red (5) colouration since the Q-band is shifted to the near infrared region with Q-band maxima at 893 nm and 808 nm in dichloromethane for 4 and 5, respectively. The structures of the complexes were confirmed by elemental analysis and interpretation of their spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the Mn complex (4) showed four quasi reversible couples. The reduction processes are attributed to MnIIIPc−2/MnIIPc−2 and MnIIPc−2/MnIIPc−3 and the oxidation processes to MnIVPc−2/MnIIIPc−2 and MnIVPc−1/MnIVPc−2. The processes were confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry. A well-defined spectrum of the rare MnIVPc−2 species is reported. The CV of the Ti complex (5) showed two well-resolved reduction processes due to TiIVPc−2/TiIIIPc−2 and TiIIIPc−2/TiIIPc−2. However, oxidation processes of the complex revealed adsorption behaviour and resulted in decomposition on electrolysis using spectroelectrochemistry.
