Abstract

A new zirconium phthalocyanine complex [ZrI2(Pc){C6H4(CN)2}] (Pc = C32H16N8) was obtained in crystalline form by the reaction of zirconium with 1,2-dicyanobenzene (o-DCB) under a stream of iodine. The molecule is a reaction product of zirconium, iodine atoms and o-DCB molecules, four of which form the Pc macrocycle. The crystal structure of this compound consists of discrete molecules in which seven-coordinate Zr(IV) is surrounded by four N atoms of the phthalocyaninato ligand, two cis-iodide atoms and an N atom from one of the cyano groups of the fifth o-DCB molecule. A set of hydrogen-bonded interactions links the molecules in the crystal lattice.
