Abstract

The physical and chemical properties of phthalocyanines (Pc) have long attracted considerable interest due to their applications as dyes, organoelectronics, liquid crystals, ultrathin films, and in photodynamic therapy. 1 A particularly attractive feature of Pc is the dependence of the properties of the molecule on the nature of the peripheral functional groups, as well as the electronic properties of the central metal cations in the ...
