We begin with a general description of the chemical, physical, and electrical properties of
organic semiconductors, OSCs, a class of materials that includes molecular semiconductors …

This review summarizes recent advances in the use of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, and
related compounds as components of solar cells, including organic molecular solar cells …

Photosynthesis is used by nature to convert light energy into chemical energy in some living
systems. In such a process, a cascade of very efficient, short-range energy and electron …

This review paper gives a brief overview on how the outstanding chemical and physical
properties of phthalocyanines and phthalocyanine derivatives are being studied and …

Phthalocyanines (Pc's) 1-3 have been the focus of intense research interest ever since their
initial characterization in the 1930s by Linstead and Robertson4, 5 after the accidental …

Phthalocyanines are versatile building blocks for fabricating materials at the nanometer
scale. These colored macrocycles exhibit fascinating physical properties which arise from …

The present review highlights the recent progresses in the preparation of supramolecular,
donor–acceptor (D–A) porphyrin (Por)-and phthalocyanine (Pc)/carbon nanostructure …

This paper examines the preparation of tailor-made azaporphyrins and analogues exhibiting
their Q-bands in several particular and predetermined regions of the electromagnetic …

Layer-by-layer (LbL) processing, otherwise known as sequential deposition, is emerging as
the most promising strategy for fabrication of active layers in organic photovoltaic (OPV) …

In this feature article, a brief overview over the photoinduced energy and charge transfer
mechanisms involving fullerenes will be presented. The photoinduced charge separation …
