The new arsenic (III) phthalocyanine complex [(AsIIIPc)2(I)2(As6I6) - (1) was obtained in a crystalline form by direct reaction of phthalonitrile with arsenic powder in an oxidation atmosphere of iodine vapor. This complex is a unique example of arsenic phthalocyanine complex in which in both parts of the complex the arsenic is in different oxidation state: As3+ in (AsPc)+ unit and As1+ in a neutral molecule As6I6. In the crystal the arsenic phthalocyanine (AsPc)+ unit is non-planar, the arsenic(III) protrudes out of the cavity by 0.7699(12) Å, forming a saucer shape of Pc unit. The neutral, unique As6I6 molecule is centrosymmetric in which there are six As1+ joined together to form a six-membered ring As6I6 in the chair conformation that is rendered dianionic As6I82− by the μ3-iodide anions that cap both faces of the ring. The interaction between the building units of the crystal was analyzed using the Hirshfeld surface and the analysis of the 2D fingerprint plots. UV–Vis absorption spectra of 1 were taken in CH2Cl2 and toluene solutions in the concentration range from 8 × 10−5 to 10−6 mol/l. No significant changes related to aggregation in solutions were observed. The Q-band in toluene solution is red shifted by ∼10 nm in comparison to that in CH2Cl2 solution. Oxidation of [(AsIIIPc)I]2(As6I6) yields AsVPc derivative. Both AsIII and AsV phthalocyanine derivatives absorb near infrared light (600–900 nm) which should be intriguing with the point of view of potential use as photosensitizers for PDT and as an infrared cut filter for plasma display and silicon photodiodes as well as materials showing strong electron donors/acceptors properties.
