A comparative analysis of spectral, mesomorphic and photoelectric properties of these mix-substituted phthalocyanines of a “push–pull” type was performed. It was shown that non-peripheral substitution by alkyloxy-fragments in hetero-substituted Pcs (similar to homo-substituted Pc) leads to red-shifting of the Q-band into near-IR region. The intensity of photoluminescence, position of peaks and their splitting are strongly connected with chemical structure of Pcs and the type of solvent. In contrast to non-mesogenic octyloxy-Pc (A4) having alkyloxy-substituents in non-peripheral positions, 22 of 23 synthesized compounds possess columnar mesomorphism. The change of donor–acceptor ratio can influence the type of mesophase. A new approach to the creation of materials for optoelectronics is proposed and implemented, which includes design of compounds possessing vitrification from mesophase with maintenance of a columnar order, absorption in the near IR-region of the spectrum and good performance electrophysical characteristics simultaneously.}, type={Article}, title={Mix-substituted phthalocyanines of a “push–pull”-type and their metal complexes as prospective nanostructured materials for optoelectronics}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115360/PDF/main.pdf}, keywords={“Push–pull” phthalocyanines, Liquid crystals, Electronic absorption spectra, Fluorescence, Photoelectric properties, Langmuir–Schaefer films, DFT calculations, Photovoltaics}, }
