Abstract
Chemical oxidation of the dichloromethane solutions of oxomolybdenum phthalocyanine (Mo(IV)OPc), using dilute solutions of bromine in dichloromethane or using ferric chloride results in the oxidation at the central metal ion, giving a Mo(V)OPc complex. Chemical oxidation is reversible in both the bromine and ferric chloride oxidized species. Oxidation of MoOPc is coupled to a reversible coordination of axial ligands to the oxidized species, with the possible formation of a six coordinate complex. Spectral data also reveal that the oxygen atom remains coordinated to the oxidized complex.
