Abstract
Octakis(methylthio)octaethylphthalocyaninato titanium (IV) oxide (PcSMeTiO) was prepared from octakis(methylthio)octaethylphthalocyanine (PcSMe) upon treatment with titanium (IV) tetrabutoxide in DMF at 130°C. The reaction of PcSMeTiO with benzenedithiol or benzenediselenol produced octakis(methylthio)octaethylphthalocyaninato titanium (IV) benzenedichalcogenolates (4a,b) bearing titanium–sulfur or titanium–selenium bonds.
