Abstract: Organo-metallic materials with reduced steric hindrance and the ability to aggregate are disclosed. The metal remains capable of binding additional molecules. As an example, Zn complexes that prove aggregation are provided. Such aggregation may help improve or trigger new surface properties of the materials, alone or in combination with others. In a further implementation of the present disclosure, a robust molecule that resists degradation via nucleophilic, electrophilic and radical attacks is provided. Coordinated O2 is reduced catalytically, producing efficiently thyil radicals in spite of the extreme electronic deficiency of the catalyst.

Abstract: Perfluoroisopropyl-substituted perfluorophtalocyanines, including zinc (II), copper (II) and oxo-vanadium (IV) complexes of 29H,31H,1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octakis-fluoro-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis-perfluoro(isopropyl)phthalocyanine (F64Pc), may be sublimed under high vacuum conditions. The compounds/molecules produce advantageous thin films (20-100 nm) on glass substrates by physical vapor deposition. Many potential applications of the disclosed compounds/molecules are disclosed, e.g., as semiconductor materials. In situ electrical conduction and optical transmission measurements during the deposition process reveal the formation of conducting pathways and potential microscopic intermolecular electronic couplings.

Abstract: Advantageous methods for synthesis of fluorinated phthalocyanines are provided. Typical implementation involves a reaction mixture that includes perfluoro compound that is reacted for a reaction period sufficient to yield a fluorinated phthalocyanine of formula F64PcM, wherein “Pc” is any phthalocyanine macrocycle and “M” is hydrogen. Novel fluorinated phthalocyanine molecules/compounds are also provided herein, including specifically compounds that include fluorinated phthalocyanines wherein “M” is Cu or V?O. The fluorinated phthalocyanines have wide ranging applications, e.g., corrosion-related applications, coating-related applications, catalysis, and the production of optical and electronic materials.
