Abstract
As it is well known [1, 2], non-peripheral substituted octa (alkoxy)-phthalocyanines (Pc) do not exhibit neither thermotropic nor lyotropic mesomorphism (in binary mixtures with organic solvents). In this work we induced an enantiotropic mesophase due to charge-transfer (CT) interactions in mixtures of PC derivatives I-III (viscous or oil-like liquids) with a strong electron acceptor 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone (TNF). Decreasing of number and length of substituents and modification of chemical structure of phthalocyanine macrocycle by introduction of four sulfur atoms (compound IV) resulted in crystallinity of this compound. In contact preparation of IV with TNF a wide area of CT-complex showing the monotropic mesomorphic phase is found out. All above mentioned CT-complexes do not form any lyomesophases in binary mixtures with number of organic solvents.
