Abstract
Phthalocyanines, naphthalocyanines and their sandwich complexes with the lanthanoids are of great interest as precursors of materials. The macroscopic properties of these materials are of course related to the electronic states of the molecular units. Many sandwich complexes have been synthetized, symmetrically or unsymmetrically substituted with electron donating and withdrawing groups. The effect of the substituants have been studied by voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. The unpaired electron of these neutral radical species is delocaljzed over the sandwich complex, even for the most unsymmetrical compounds.
