Phthalocyanines High‐valent ruthenium phthalocyanine complexes are difficult to isolate owing to facile oxidation of the coordinated phthalocyanine ligands. In their Full Paper on page 338 ff., featured on the Inside Cover, Chi‐Ming Che, Jie‐Sheng Huang, Sharon Lai‐Fung Chan et al. describe a “metal–ketimine+ArI(OR) 2 ” approach to prepare metal–ketimido (MNCR 2 ) complexes by oxidative deprotonation, thereby leading to the isolation of ketimido metallophthalocyanine complexes [RuIV(Pc)(NCR 2 ) 2 ]. These complexes exhibit interesting UV/Vis and 1H NMR spectra and undergo reductive protonation with phenols; their electronic structures and UV/Vis spectra have been studied by density functional theory calculations.
