Abstract: The synthesis of novel, symmetrical, tetrasubstituted manganese phthalocyanine complexes bearing 4 hexylthio, 2',3',4',5',6'-pentafluorobenzyloxy, 2',3',5',6'-tetrafluoro-4'-hexylthio-benzyloxy, and 2',3',5',6'-tetrafluoro-4'-pentoxy-benzyloxy units is reported. The new compounds have been characterized by using elemental analyses and UV-Vis, FT-IR, and mass spectroscopic data. The electrochemical properties of the manganese phthalocyanine complexes were investigated by cyclic and square wave voltammetry and the nature of the observed redox processes was studied by spectroelectrochemistry.

Keywords: Phthalocyanines, manganese, cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry
