🔬Core Features

Excellent optical properties: Features a large conjugated system with stable structure. Its Q-band (characteristic absorption peak) is located near 762 nm (maximum absorption wavelength of 772 nm in dichloromethane), residing in the near-infrared region. This is highly advantageous for applications requiring deep penetration.

Good Solubility: The introduction of eight butoxy groups enables excellent solubility in various organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, DMF, and ethyl acetate, while being poorly soluble in water and methanol. This facilitates solution-based processing.

Reactive nature: The phthalocyanine ring center contains a vacant site capable of accommodating various metal ions, enabling the formation of metal complexes with distinct properties and applications. Additionally, the compound itself exhibits a relatively high singlet oxygen quantum yield.

pH responsiveness: This compound also demonstrates pronounced pH-responsive properties, conferring potential value in sensing applications.
