Abstract A lipophilic and electron-rich metallophthalocyanine Mn(III)Cl(α,α′-n-OC 5 H 11 ) 8 Pc has been synthesized and characterized. A series of electrochemical experiments demonstrate that the Mn(III)Cl(α,α′-n-OC 5 H 11 ) 8 Pc complex can be used as a catalyst for highly efficient carbon-chloride bond cleavage of environmental toxic hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) through electrochemical catalysis, and that the increased catalytic efficiency is related to the enantiomeric carbon-chloride σ-bond of HCHs.
