- Description: This paper reports on the effect of embedding twelve phthalocyanines containing In, Ga, Zn and Al as central metals in polymer thin films on their optical limiting abilities. This paper also examines the effect of forming a covalent link between zinc tetraamino phthalocyanine (10) and poly (methyl acrylic acid) (PMAA), and Zn (11) or OHAl (12) octacarboxy phthalocyanines with polyethylenimine (PEI). The average film thickness (for phthalocyanines mixed or linked to polymers) of each Pc/Polymer films on glass was 95 μm. The hyperpolarizability of the twelve phthalocyanines was found to be in the range of 10−26 to 10−24 esu.L. This is significantly higher than the hyperpolarizabilities of these phthalocyanines in solution, which ranged from 10−30 to 10−26 esu.L. Degradation studies seem to indicate that placing a phthalocyanine within a polymer thin film may protect it slightly from photo- and thermal degradation.

- Description: 3(4),15(16)-Bis-(4-tert-butyl-phenoxy)-10,22-diaminohemiporphyrazinato chloroindium hemiporphyrazine was synthesized from 1,3,5-triaminobenzene and 4-tert-butyl-phenoxyisoindoline. The structure of the complex was confirmed using mass, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopies. The nonlinear parameters of the compound was also analyzed in dimethylformamide and found to be significantly greater than previously analyzed phthalocyanines.
