SPECTROSCOPICALLY AND/OR STRUCTURALLY INTRIGUING PHTHALOCYANINES AND RELATED COMPOUNDS. PART 3. DIMERIC SYSTEMS, TETRAMERS, AND CONCLUSIONS

Abstract

This work is the third part of the review, which presents the properties of a large group of phthalocyanines, which were synthesized and spectroscopically and theoretically studied in works performed under the guidance of the author for the period 2007-2017. Examples of the analysis of spectroscopic data in combination with quantum-chemical calculations of different level are given. As spectroscopic methods, we used the methods of electron absorption, natural and magnetic circular dichroism (CD and MCD) fluorescence, phosphorescence, and electron paramagnetic resonance with time resolution. Based on quantum-chemical calculations, the spectra of (4n + 2) p systems, as well as some 4np antiaromatic systems, were theoretically analyzed. Unlike the first and second parts of the review, this part deals with dimeric and tetrameric systems. <span style="opacity: 0;"> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . </span> <span style="opacity: 0;"> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . </span>
