Abstract

Phthalocyanines have become of major interest as functional colorants for dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells. Syntheses of non-peripheral (1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, 25) thioaryl substituted phthalocyanines have been reported. These phthalocyanines exhibited a Q band in the near-infrared region. In order to develop next generation photovoltaic cells, we have synthesized 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, 25-octakis (thioaryl) phthalocyanines and ...
