Zeolite Encapsulated Cobalt(II) and Copper(II) Perfluorophthalocyanines - Synthesis and Characterization
Synthetic faujasite type zeolites have been modified with cobalt(II) and copper(II) hexadecafluorophthalocyanines (MF(16)Pc) by synthesizing zeolite NaX around the MF(16)Pc complexes and by the template synthesis of the complexes inside NaY zeolites ion exchanged with Co2+ and Cu2+. Mid FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy as well as X-ray powder diffraction and elemental analysis provide evidence for the encapsulation of the MF(16)Pc complexes inside the zeolites. The redox properties of the intrazeolite metal complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Site isolation of these complexes inside the zeolite has resulted in electrochemical data for Co(II)/Co(I) and Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox processes not observed in solution.
