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.
Synthesis and Characterisation of some 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-Octa-alkyl- and 1,4,8,11,15,18-Hexa-alkyl-22,25-bis(carboxypropyl)phthalocyanines

A series of 3,6-dialkylphthalonitriles and 3,6-bis(4,4,4-trimethoxybutyl)phthalonitrile have been prepared via Diels-Alder reactions of 2,5-disubstituted furans or thiophene 1,1-dioxides with fumaronitrile.The phthalonitriles were converted into the title phthalocyanines as metal-free and copper(II) derivatives.The macrocycles were characterised using 1H NMR and optical spectroscopy, and fastatom bombardment spectrometry.Certain examples exhibit discotic liquid crystal behaviour.
