Abstract

Abstract We describe the synthesis of a series of phthalocyanine (Pc)–perylenediimide (PDI) 8 “octad” molecules, in which eight PDI moieties are attached to a Pc core through alkyl- chain linkers. There is clear spectroscopic evidence that these octads can exist as non- aggregated “monomers” or form aggregates along the Pc cores, depending on the type of Pc and the solvent medium. In the low dielectric constant solvents, into which the octads are ...
