 Hello:
 I recently posted a similar document to sci.chem and sci.chem.organometals.
 Sorry for any duplication.
 My question is a follows:
 Has anyone synthesized the complex Co(II)-4-4'-4''-4'''-tetrasulfophthalo-
 cyanine?  I tried following the synthesis reported by Weber et. al. in Inorg.
 Chem. 1965, however, the synthesis did not work.  I am not sure why I could
 not synthesize the compound, but I do think that some of the problems came
 from errors due to the vagueness of the synthesis steps concering the
 reprecipiation process.
 Can anyone give me a more detailed desription of the synthesis?  Or can
 anyone give me a different method for the synthesis?
 Thank you,
 gregory rechtsteiner
