Synthesis of phthalocyanines for dye sensitized solar cells and stabilised pigment systems

This thesis reports the synthesis of novel phthalocyanine based photosensitizers for DSSC devices. Key precursors, halogenated phthalonitriles have been synthesised and characterised, which included a novel periodic acid method for forming 4,5-diiodophthalonitrile. Phthalonitrile derivatives with fu...
