Introducing rigid π-conjugated peripheral substituents in phthalocyanines for DSSCs

A new carboxy-Zn(II)phthalocyanine bearing rigid 2,6-diarylphenyl peripheral substituents linked to the macrocycle through alkynyl spacers has been prepared by a convergent approach, which implies a triple Sonogashira coupling between the formyltriiodoZnPc and the corresponding terminal alkyne. Inde...

Sumario:A new carboxy-Zn(II)phthalocyanine bearing rigid 2,6-diarylphenyl peripheral substituents linked to the macrocycle through alkynyl spacers has been prepared by a convergent approach, which implies a triple Sonogashira coupling between the formyltriiodoZnPc and the corresponding terminal alkyne. Indeed, the introduction of this type of π-conjugated peripheral substituents accounts for a remarkable red shift of the phthalocyanine Q-band until ca. 700 nm. However, aggregation phenomena could not be supressed and may explain the moderate overall efficiencies achieved with these devices
