Synthesis, spectral, magnetic and thermal studies on symmetrically substituted metal(II)-1,3,8,10,15,17,22,24-octafluorophthalocyanines

This publication discuss the synthesis and characterization of pure 1,3,8,10,15,17,22,24-octafluorophthalocyanines of copper(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II). The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, electronic spectra, IR spectra, thermal studies and X-ray powder diffraction method to check the purity and integrity of the complexes. The magnetic measurements over the range of magnetic field strength 1.03–2.32 kG showed a variation of magnetic moments with field strength indicating the presence of intermolecular co-operative effect.
