II) have been prepared and fully characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR,
1H and
13C NMR, and MS (ESI and Maldi-TOF). The cation binding abilities of the complexes with Ag
I, and Pd
II were evaluated by UV–Vis spectroscopy and the results show the formation of polynuclear phthalocyanine complexes. Voltammetric and in-situ spectroelectrochemical studies were performed to characterize the redox behavior of the complexes. An in-situ electrocolorimetric method was applied to investigate the colors of electro-generated anionic and cationic forms of the complexes.

► 3’- and 4’-(2,3-dihydroxypropylthio)-phthalonitrile, and their sensor MPcs were prepared. ► Characterized by EA, UV–Vis, FT-IR,
1H and
13C-NMR, MS (ESI and Maldi-TOF). ► Their cation binding properties such as, Ag
I and Pd
II resulted in a dimeric assembly. ► The mole binding ratio were found to be ca. 2:1 for [Ag
I]/[M(Pc)(M = Zn, Cu)]. ► The voltammetric and in-situ spectroelectrochemical studies were performed.

2. The spectroscopic properties of the complexes are affected strongly by the electron-donating sulfanyl units on the periphery of the phthalocyanines. The cation binding properties of the complexes, for example using Ag
I and Pd
II, were evaluated by UV–Vis spectroscopy and the results show the formation of polynuclear phthalocyanine complexes. Functional donors on the periphery of the zinc and copper complexes coordinate to Ag
I and Pd
II to give ca. a 2:1 metal–phthalocyanine complex binding ratio for the concentration of 2.5
