Surface Phenomena and Applications of Azamacrocycles

Electro- and photoelectro active materials such as phthalocyanine derivatives, which present remarkable chemical stability, have been intensively explored for their use in thin-fllm devices .

Vibrational spectra of metalloporphyrins have been studied extensively because of their biological importance as prosthetic groups of a variety of heme proteins. Thus, many review articles have been published on this subject, and most of them discuss the vibrational spectra of metalloporphyrins together with those of heme proteins. Nakamoto has reviewed several articles concerning these macrocycles and discussed the state of the art of the normal coordinate analysis, the assignment of the structure-sensitive vibrations, the metal-macrocycle ring coordination, the metal-metal bonded porphyrins and the n-n complex formation and dimerization.
