title: Design, synthesis and optical properties of unsymmetrical subphthalocyanine trimer connected by phloroglucinol via axial positions.
abstract: An unsymmetrical subphthalocyanine trimer consisting of three different subphthalocyanine units was synthesized. Its optical and physical properties were investigated by UV/Vis, fluorescence spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry and computations. Energy transfer from the non-substituted subphthalocyanine unit to the perfluorinated subphthalocyanine unit via a trifluoroethoxy substituted unit is suggested.
