Abstract

The syntheses and photophysical properties of metallophthalocyanines containing Mg ²⁺ and Al ³⁺ as central metal ions and their unmetallated derivative (complexes 3-8) tetra- substituted at the non-peripheral (α) and peripheral (β) positions with 2-mercaptopyridine are reported. The trends in triplet and fluorescence quantum yields are described for these compounds. The complexes exhibited relatively high triplet quantum yields (Φ _T) ranging from 0.33 to 0.54 and fluorescence quantum yields (Φ _F) ranging from 0.02 to 0.29. Triplet state lifetimes of the complexes were long ranging from 120 to 460 μs, indicating a potential use of these complexes as photosensitizers.
