%X A series of homoleptic bis&#91;2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)phthalocyaninato&#93; rare earth(III) sandwich complexes &#123;M&#91;Pc(OC8H17)8&#93;2 (M = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Y, Ho, Er, Tm) (1) and (3)&#8211;(13), and HCe&#91;Pc(OC8H17)8&#93;2 (2)&#125; has been prepared by the cyclic tetramerization of 4,5-di(octyloxy)phthalonitrile on the template of M(acac)3&#183;nH2O in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo&#91;5.4.0&#93;undec-7-ene. Their spectroscopic properties were systematically investigated by ultraviolet&#8211;visible, near-infrared, infrared, and mass spectroscopy, and the effects of ionic radius on the inter-ring electronic communication are described.
