Octacyano-metal-substituted phthalocyanine MPc(CN) is a promising -type stable organic semiconductor material with eight cyano groups, including a strong electron-withdrawing group at its molecular terminals. However, most MPc(CN) have not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, CuPc(CN) was synthesized in this study and its crystal structure, chemical and electronic states, thermal stability, and electrical properties were investigated.

Furthermore, in the case of hydrogels, there exist some difficulties in understanding complicated molecular mechanisms especially with water molecules interacting through hydrogen bonding as solvents. In the present work, the molecular mechanism of the structural formation of fibrous super-molecular gel by the low molecular weight gelator, N-oleyl lactobionamide/water mixture was elucidated using the broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) method.
