The stepwise reduction of copper(II) 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octafluoro-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakisperfluoro(isopropyl) phthalocyanine (CuII F64 Pc) in o -dichlorobenzene (C6 H4 Cl2 ) by potassium graphite in the presence of cryptand(K+ ), abbreviated L+ , results in the formation of (L+ )[CuII (F64 Pc•3- )]- ·2C6 H4 Cl2 ( 1 ), (L+ )2 [CuII (F64 Pc4- )]2- ·C6 H4 Cl2 ( 2 ), and (L+ )2 [CuII (F64 Pc4- )]2- ( 3 ) complexes. Single-crystal X-ray structures revealed their composition and a monotonic increase with increased phthalocyanine (Pc) negative charges of the magnitude of alternative shortening and elongation of the prior equivalent Nmeso -C bonds...
