2,3-Tetrakis[4-(N-2-naphthyl-N-phenylamino)phenoxy]-substituted Metal-free and Metal Phthalocyanines as a Novel Class of Amorphous Molecular Materials

A novel family of metal-free and metal phthalocyanines containing triarylamine moieties are synthesized. These compounds are well soluble and readily form stable amorphous glasses with high glass transition temperatures, as evidenced by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction, and constitute a new class of amorphous molecular materials.
