要旨

Angular extension of the aromatic structure of phthalocyanine to give rise to metallo-1,2-naphthalocyanines is expected to give solids in which more efficient p-p overlap is achieved. The most symmetrical isomer,C4h,was isolated,characterized and analysed by low temperature X-ray as Mg(1,2-Nc). The corresponding Co-derivative was also prepared and subsequent oxidation and axial CN ligation yielded K[CoIII(1,2-Nc)(CN)2]. Electrochemical oxidation is in progress to yield conducting solids.
