A new family of pyrrole substituted metallophthalocyanine complexes, namely cobalt(II), iron(II), manganese(III), nickel(II) and zinc(II) tetrakis-4-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenoxy phthalocyanines (noted as M(TPhPyrPc), where M is the metallic cation) have been synthesized and fully characterized. In particular, the UV-visible spectra of the iron and nickel complexes showed extensive aggregation even at low concentrations. The cyclic voltammetry of the cobalt, iron and manganese complexes showed three to four redox couples assigned to metal and ring based processes. Spectroelectrochemistry of the manganese derivative confirmed that the synthesized complex is Mn-III(TPhPyrPc(-2)) and that the reduction of Mn-II(TPhPyrPc-2) to be centred on the ring and rather than on the metal, forming the Mn-II(TPhPyrPc(-4)) species. Also, the electrochemical polymerization of these newly synthesized pyrrole-substituted phthalocyanines has been demonstrated in the case of the cobalt complex and the electrocatalytic activity of the obtained film has been tested towards the oxidation of L-cysteine.
