Abstract
Spectroscopic properties of discotic liquid crystalline bis[octakis(3,4-dialkoxyphenoxy)-phthalocyaninato]lutetium(III) complexes, {[( C n O )2 PhO ]8 Pc }2 Lu (n = 12: 2a and n = 13: 2b), were investigated by recording electronic absorption spectra in the region of 250-2600 nm under three different conditions; solution, mixed solvent solutions, and a thin film at various temperatures. An intermolecular charge transfer (CT) band was found at about 2000-2100 nm both for the n-hexane solution and the thin film. It was established for the first time from the solvent-polarity-dependent and temperature-dependent electronic absorption spectra that the intermolecular CT band is attributable to molecular aggregation.
