Oxidation and reduction data of subphthalocyanines.

The data presented in this paper are related to the research article entitled "Electrochemical behaviour of chloro- and hydroxy-subphthalocyanines" [1]. This paper presents detailed oxidation and reduction potential data, obtained from cyclic voltammograms of three subphthalocyanines (SubPcs), in both dichloromethane (DCM) and dichloroethane (DCE) as solvent. The first SubPc is the unsubstituted boron-subphthalocyanine, (ClB)SubPc(H)12, as reference SubPc, the second SubPc is (ClB)SubPc(F)12, containing an electron-poor macro-cycle and (HOB)SubPc(C12H25)6(H)6, containing an electron-rich macro-cycle. The oxidation and reduction potential of (ClB)SubPc(F)12 in DCM is ca. 0.5 V more positive than that of the reference ClBSubPc(H)12, while oxidation and reduction potential of (HOB)SubPc(C12H25)6(H)6 in DCM is ca. 0.45 V more negative than that of the reference (ClB)SubPc(H)12.
