Improved syntheses of high hole mobility phthalocyanines: A case of steric assistance in the cyclo-oligomerisation of phthalonitriles

Abstract: SummaryIt has been shown that the base-initiated cyclo-oligomerisation of phthalonitriles is favoured by bulky α-substituents making it possible to obtain the metal-free phthalocyanine directly and in high yield. The phthalocyanine with eight α-isoheptyl substituents gives a high time-of-flight hole mobility of 0.14 cm2·V−1·s−1 within the temperature range of the columnar hexagonal phase, that is 169–189 °C.

“…The tilted angle of the aromatic plane of ZnTNc exo in the stacks was estimated to be 16 degrees from the horizontal axis, based on the lattice parameters in the XRD analysis and the molecular dimensions from the DFT calculations. Liquid crystalline Pc and benzoporphyrins substituted with alkyl chains at the lateral positions also showed an eclipsed conformation with a tilt angle to the columnar axis . The lateral alkyl chains located at the crowded bay areas of ZnTNc exo reduce the strength of intermolecular interactions between the aromatic cores due to the steric repulsion of alkyl chains arranged out of the core plane.…”

“…It is also one of the components in the synthesis of Zn-thio-Pc based dye sensitized solar cells and Zn-amide-Pc based photosensitizers [11]. Several researchers have synthesizedthe titlecompoundbyfollowing different synthetic procedures [9][10][11][12][13]. To the best of our knowledge, the title compound is only the second crystal structure to be reported in the family of dicyano-disulfonate compounds.…”
