1,4,8,11,15,18-Hexa-alkyl-22,25-bis(carboxypropyl)phthalocyanines: materials designed for deposition as Langmuir–Blodgett films

Abstract

Examples of the title compounds form stable monolayers on a water surface and are transferred onto hydrophobic silica as Langmuir–Blodgett films, which are highly ordered as judged by polarised absorption spectroscopy.
