Abstract
In an analysis of the solubility of a wide range of phthalocyanines (Pcs) and its analogues (SubPcs) in liquid and/or supercritical CO2, compounds with trifluoroethoxy substituents were found to exhibit high solubility. To our knowledge, this is the first example of Pc compounds soluble in 100% CO2. This unprecedented unique property of trifluoroethoxy substituted Pcs might have particular applications in catalysis in organic reactions as well as dyes for solar cells by CO2 delivering coatings.
