Physicochemical characterization of octakis(alkyloxy)-substituted Zn(II)-phthalocyanines non-covalently incorporated into an organogel and their remarkable morphological effect on the nanoscale-fibers.

A series of octakis(alkyloxy)-substituted Zn(II)-phthalocyanines were efficiently incorporated into an organogel made of (1R,2R)-trans-1,2-bis(dodecanoylamino)cyclohexane by means of multiple cooperative non-covalent interactions, and SEM revealed the formation of unique brush-like nanostructures.
