Abstract/Artist Statement
Subphthalocyanines are an important new class of compounds which have potential uses in optical recording media photopharmecutics and other applications where their noon- linear optical properties may be important. Synthesis and study of symmetric subphthalocyanine compounds (Subpcs and Subnaps) have been reported previously. We have chosen to study mono- and disubstituted chloro-subphthalocyanines (one or two phenols one or two naphthal groups in addition to chlorine substituients) in order to tune and predict the non-linear optical properties of these compounds.
