Complexes of Erbium and Lutetium of Different Compositions with 4-R-5-Nitro-substituted Phthalocyanines

Metal complexes (metal: ligand = 1 : 1) have been obtained via the reaction of 4-R-5-nitrophthalonitriles with erbium and lutetium acetates and chlorides. 1 : 2 heteroleptic complexes have been synthesized based on them, containing unsubstituted and octasubstituted phthalocyanine ligands at the metal atom. The products have been characterized by a set of physico-chemical methods.
