A novel family of thiophene-decorated phthalocyanines (M-TPcs) was efficiently synthesized, during which the key intermediate of these compounds was purified through a chemical approach. In the optimized geometries of M-TPcs, the peripherally linked thiophene rings are tilted from the Pc core, which oppose aggregation considering the mutual steric hindrance. However, Zn-TPc formed J-aggregates in many solvents while Ni-TPc and Cu-TPc did not. Octaphenyl-substituted zinc Pc (Zn-PPc) showed similar J-aggregation behavior as Zn-TPc. This unusual J-aggregation was attributed to the conformational planarization of the corresponding molecules.

4,5-Dichloro-1,2-dicyanobenzene (5) was prepared in an overall yield of 49% from 4,5-dichloro-1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1). The reactions of 5 with phenols, thiophenol and 1-propanethiol led in a nucleophilic displacement reaction to the 4,5-bis(aryloxy)-, 4,5-bis(phenylthio)- and 4,5-bis(propylthio)-1,2-dicyanobenzenes 6 which were converted in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in high yields to octasubstituted phthalocyanines (tetrabenzoporphyrazines) 7. Some compounds 7 contain eight free phenolic, carboxylic acid or pyridyl groups.
