Synthesis and application of trifluoroethoxy-substituted phthalocyanines and subphthalocyanines

Blog Article

Phthalocyanines and popularfilm.blog subphthalocyanines are attracting attention as functional dyes that are applicable to organic solar cells, photodynamic therapy, organic electronic devices, and other applications.However, phthalocyanines are generally difficult to handle due to their strong ability to aggregate, so this property must be controlled for further applications of phthalocyanines.On the other hand, trifluoroethoxy-substituted phthalocyanines are known to suppress aggregation due to repulsion of the trifluoroethoxy group.Furthermore, the electronic characteristics of phthalocyanines are significantly changed by the strong electronegativity of fluorine.Therefore, it is expected that trifluoroethoxy-substituted phthalocyanines can be applied here to new industrial fields.

This review summarizes the synthesis and application of trifluoroethoxy-substituted phthalocyanine and subphthalocyanine derivatives.
