Spectroscopy and Electronic Structure of Electron Deficient Zinc Phthalocyanines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effect of introduction of perfluoro alkyl groups into phthalocyanines, as evidenced by the spectroscopic properties of 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octa-fluoro-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa-perfluoro isopropyl zinc phthalocyanine, ZnF(64)Pc(-2) and its ring-reduced radical anion species, [ZnF(64)Pc(-3)](-), are reported. A combination of UV-visible absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy, ESI and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, and complete theoretical calculations using INDO/S and DFT techniques reveals that the substitution of all sixteen hydrogen atoms in protio ZnPc(-2) by eight F and eight i-C(3)F(7) groups red shifts the Q and pi --> pi transitions and narrows the HOMO-LUMO gap while simultaneously preventing ring photooxidation and stabilizing the radical anion. The [ZnF(64)Pc(-3)](-) species, which is in equilibrium in solution with the neutral complex when a reducing agent is present, is unusually stable. The above effects are attributed to the strong electron withdrawing properties of the peripheral substituents, which render ZnF(64)Pc extremely electron deficient.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
