In connection with our previous research on μ-oxo-bridged metal phthalocyanine dimers, we have synthesized μ-oxo-bridged subphthalocyanine dimers (μ-oxo subpc dimers) with various peripheral substituents and studied their properties. Compared to the corresponding subpc monomer, the Q-band absorption of subpc dimers broadens, the wavelength undergoes a blue shift by approximately 30–35 nm, and the molar absorptivity is ...
