title: Synthesis of covalently linked binuclear clamshell phthalocyanine by double-click reaction.
abstract: A novel covalently linked binuclear phthalocyanine 1 was synthesized by the "double-click" reaction. The UV-vis and fluorescence spectra and electrochemistry revealed that the geometry of 1 is a closed clamshell conformation in which a strong electronic interaction is observed between the two Pc moieties.
