The manganese(r1) chelate of 3,10,17,24-tetrasulphonatophthalocyanine exists in aqueous solution in high-spin and low-spin forms, with the low-spin form being favoured in slightly alkaline solution as a result of an axial interaction of the central manganese(I1) with the hydroxide anion. The low-spin form of the chelate possesses a characteristic e.s.r. spectrum from which the magnetic spin Hamiltonian parameters have been obtained by computer simulation of the experimental spectrum and compared with those of other low-spin manganese(I1) compounds with comparable types of chemical bonding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
