Phthalocyanines and Phthalocyanine Analogues: The Quest for Applicable Optical Properties

  • Chapter

Abstract

The central subject of this article is the description of the current work of the authors in the context of the Cost Action 518, project DE-1, and the Phthalocyanines Research Training Network, both financed by the European Community. The aim of the above projects is the design, synthesis, and structural and physical characterization of molecular and polymeric materials based on phthalocyanine derivatives with particular optical properties, as well as the study of their technological applications in the sensors field.

  2. This review article is based on the following network projects of the European Community: Cost Action 518, project DE-1 and the research training network (Phthalocyanines) HPRN-CT-2000–00020. The authors have contributed and will contribute within the scope of these two projects to the chemistry and the study of the optical properties of phthalocyanines and their derivatives. This article intends to give an overview of this field with references to past research (not necessarily from the authors) and present future researches of the groups involved in these networks
