Metallophthalocyanines as optical active dopants in borate glass

Steady/transient state spectral researches on the solvent-triggered and photo-induced novel properties of metal-coordinated phthalocyanines

“… 4 The exploitation of the MPc aggregation and redox mechanism can be beneficial for its applications in the fields of photophysics, 5 photochemistry, 6 materials 7 and catalysis. 8 Transition metal phthalocyanine dual-metal-site catalysts 9 and composite anchoring iron phthalocyanine (FePc)/TiO 2 heterostructure 10 demonstrated good photocatalytic activities for CO reduction or organic contaminant degradation. 11 The redox and aggregation process mechanisms of CoPc or ZnPc were still unclear because the metal-based and ring-based one-electron redox processes were influenced by the axial coordinated ligand properties.…”
