All of the materials are very soluble in common organic solvents such as dichloro- methane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide.

Redox processes were observed at -1.06, -0.74, 0.51 and 0.98 V for the free phthalocyanine, at -0.72 and 1.04 V for the Co（Ⅱ） complex, at -1.24, -0.77, -0.24, 0.61 and 0,91 V for the Cu（Ⅱ） complex, and at -0.74 and 1.20 V for the Ni（Ⅱ） complex. The cyclic voltammograms of the phthalocyanine ring of the four species are similar, with reduction and oxidation couples each involving a one-electron transfer process.展开更多
