Solubility of novel silicon phthalocyanines substituted with polyfluoroalkyloxy groups at axial sites

摘要

A range of novel phthalocyanine structures containing polyfluoroalkyloxy groups at the axial sites have been successfully synthesised. They were tested for solubility in a number of solvents. The polyfluoroalkyloxy groups were found to impart higher solubility than the corresponding polyfluoroalkanoyloxy and alkoxy derivatives. The highest solubility was found in ether.
