Crystal Structure of Ruthenium Phthalocyanine with Diaxial Monoatomic Ligand: Bis(Triphenylphosphine)Iminium Dichloro(Phthalocyaninato(2-))Ruthenium(III) by Derrick Ethelbhert Yu, Akira Kikuchi, Tetsuya Taketsugu, Tamotsu Inabe

“…Axially-ligated iron phthalocyanines have been found to be good molecular conductors with giant negative magnetoresistance (GNMR) which originates from a strong intramolecular π-d interaction between the metal and phthalocyanine. Ab initio theoretical calculations showed that substitution of ruthenium into the phthalocyanine complex would result in a significant increase in the π-d interaction of the system, potentially intensifying GNMR. …”
