Abstract

The reactions of cobalt(II) tetrasulphophthalocyanine, [CoII(tspc)]4- with .CH3, .CH2CH2OH, .CH(CH3)CH2OH, .CH(CH3)CH(CH3)OH and .CH2C(CH3)2OH free radicals have been studied. The results indicate that the first product formed in these reactions has the form [CoII- (tspc-R)]4-, where R is the aliphatic free radical, the exact nature of the bonding of .R to tspc is not clear. The complex [CoII-(tspc-R)]4- rearranges into [(tspc)CoIII-R]4- in a process obeying a first-order rate law. [(tspc)CoIII-CH3]4- decomposes into [CoIII(tspc)]3- + CH4, whereas the complexes [(tspc)CoIII- CR1R2CR3R4OH]4- decompose into [CoIII(tspc)]3- + R1R2C=CR3R4+ OH-.
