Abstract
The preparation of phthalocyanine complexes of yttrium, samarium, gadolinium, ytterbium, and lutetium is reported. The PcLnAcO complex (Pc = phthalocyanine dianion and AcO = acetate anion) was found to act as the sensitizer for the photoreduction of methylviologen chloride (MVCl{sub 2}) in a methanol solution upon irradiation with visible light. On the basis of data from visible spectrophotometric studies and laser flash-photolysis studies, the observation is made that the photoreduction of metalophthalocyanine complexes proceeds via an oxidative process, and a reaction scheme is proposed. 15 refs., 2 figs.
