Abstract
The syntheses, characterization and fluorescence studies of several {octakis(alkylthio)phthalocyanato}
palladium(II) and nickel(II) complexes are presented. The absorption spectra of some of the complexes
showed extra peaks which are attributable to non-planar distortion, the extent of which, was found to
dependent on alkyl chain length. The fluorescence excitation spectra of the nickel(II) derivatives were not
in agreement with their absorption spectra, owing to structural changes upon excitation. Fluorescence
quantum yields were very low (<1%) for all complexes as a consequence of the open-shell electronic
structures of nickel(II) and palladium(II).
