Abstract
New Zn-phtalocyanines-based organic materials were synthesized and characterized. The optical properties of these pi-conjugated systems were investigated by UV-visible absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior was reported. The optical and electrochemical gaps were estimated. Those complexes, having low gap energy, have been identified as holding much promise for the development of electronic devices.
