Abstract
Phthalocyanines are 18pi-electron aromatic compound composed of four isoindoline units and form metal complexes in a 1:1 ratio with various transition metal ions. Although the syntheses and properties of metal complexes have been reported, those of gold complexes have not been reported expect for one paper. Moreover, the oxidation state of the gold ion and properties of the complex has not been revealed yet. We have carefully investigated the reactions using diiminoisoindoline and several gold salts to reveal that two different gold complexes were obtained. The X-ray single crystal analyses revealed that one was gold complex of phthalocyanine and the other was gold complex of novel phthalocyanine analogue. In this poster presentation, their syntheses and properties will be reported.
