Insights into the Aryl-Aryl Exchange between Palladium and Phosphane Ligands in PdII Complexes: Preparation of Phthalocyanine-Containing Phosphonium Salts

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2001 Aug 3;40(15):2895-2898. doi: 10.1002/1521-3773(20010803)40:15<2895::AID-ANIE2895>3.0.CO;2-#.

Abstract

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.
