title: Synthesis and linear and nonlinear absorption properties of dendronised ruthenium(II) phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine.
abstract: Ruthenium phthalocyanines and naphthalocyanines with axial dendronised pyridine ligands show high solubility in a variety of solvents, and exhibit solid-state absorption spectra that are comparable to those obtained in dilute solution, making them interesting candidates for optical limiting in the visible.
