Notes:
In this article we describe the preparation of poly[2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(dodecyloxycarbonyl)phthalocyaninatogermoxane] by thermal polycondensation of 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(dodecyloxycarbonyl)phthalocyaninatogermanium dihydroxide, and its characterization. The average molar mass of the resulting polymer was determined. High molar masses are assessible, e.g., M̄w = 360000 g/mol, M̄n = 140000 g/mol, at moderate temperature for the polycondensation (200°C). The polymer shows a liquid-crystalline phase in an extremely large temperature range. Furthermore, Langmuir-Blodgett films (LB films) of the polymer and of the monomer were prepared and characterized. In LB films the phthalocyanine rings are preferentially oriented normal to the dipping direction.
