Abstract

The synthesis and properties of substituted triphenylenophthalocyanines are described where the benzene rings of phthalocyanines are replaced by triphenylene units. The resulting materials are macrodiscotic in nature and show red-shifted absorption spectra and columnar mesophase behavior over a wide temperature range.
