Structure and Physical Properties of Alkyothiophene-fused Porphyrazine

Abstract

Thiophene-fused porphyrazines are potentially interesting compounds as organic electronic materials due to their isoelectronic structure with phthalocyanine. However, their structures and physical properties were not studied because of their poor solubility. In order to elucidate the properties of the thiophene-fused porphyrazine, we have synthesized thiophene-fused porphyrazine derivatives with long alkyl chains at -positions of the thiophene moieties. In the present contribution, their synthesis, physical properties, and crystal structures will be described in detail.
