Development of Phthalocyanine-Based Functional Molecules with Tunable Optical and Chiroptical Properties

Abstract

Abstract Phthalocyanines and related compounds with extensive π-conjugation have interesting physical properties that have led to a wide range of applications, from conventional dyes and pigments to advanced functional materials. In this account, we briefly introduce our work on the development of phthalocyanine-based functional molecules that exhibit near-infrared (NIR) absorption or circularly polarized luminescence (CPL).
