Structure–Property Relationships with Functionalized Subphthalocyanines: Toward Photovoltaic Devices More Stable to Photooxidative Degradation Mediated by Singlet Oxygen

NMR spectra of some compounds in the published paper were not properly recorded and interpreted. This misinterpretation has led to a wrong identification of compound 6. As such, the data and associated discussion on compound 6 should therefore not be considered. However, because compound 6 does not contribute to the main thrust of the paper and its conclusions, our principal message is not altered. Corrected NMR spectra of compound 4 are presented in the Supporting Information. While the 1H-resonances are unaltered, the 13C-NMR resonances should be changed to: Compound 4: 13C NMR (126 MHz, CDCl3) δ 152.60, 152.59, 151.85, 150.39, 150.11, 143.84, 132.46, 132.36, 132.33, 131.35, 131.15, 130.83, 130.27, 130.15, 129.16, 128.35, 127.99, 126.09, 125.87, 125.42, 123.49, 122.49, 122.36, 122.33, 118.59, 117.82, 112.05, 93.93, 90.19, 33.96, 31.45 ppm (6 signals missing due to overlap). The synthetic protocol for compound 5 should be changed to the following (not involving Pd(PPh3)4 as catalyst as stated in Scheme 1): Compound 5: A solution of compound 9 (200 mg, 0.3 mmol) in dry DMF (8 mL) was added to Zn(CN)2 (70 mg, 0.6 mmol) in a 10 mL microwave vial. The reaction tube was sealed and the mixture was heated to 105 °C under microwave irradiation with a hold time of 45 min. Water (20 mL) was added to the mixture that was then extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. Flash column chromatography (SiO2, toluene/ethyl acetate 5%) yielded the product as a dark purple solid (112 mg, 65%).
