At least three phthalocyanine units can be incorporated into phosphonium salts to give compounds such as 1, following unprecedented exchange reactions between phthalocyanine moieties bound to a palladium center and phenyl groups bound to the coordinated phosphane. Preliminary second-order nonlinear optics studies of the phthalocyanine-phosphonium salts have been carried out.
Keywords: P ligands; aryl-aryl exchange; nonlinear optics; palladium; phthalocyanines.
