Abstract

Abstract The first perylenophthalocyanines have been synthesised using a Diels–Alder reaction between dialkylperylenes and fumaronitrile as the key step towards the dinitrile precursors. As expected the octaalkylperylenophthalocyanines show red-shifted absorption spectra. They are high melting solids that do not display mesophase behaviour at accessible temperatures. A 3: 1 phthalocyanine/perylenophthalocyanine hybrid material, prepared by ...
