In addition to traditional uses as dyes and in photocopying devices, phthalocyanines (Pcs) are now rapidly growing in importance in many fields such as chemical sensors, electrochromism, batteries, photodynamic cancer therapy, molecular metals, photochemical hole burning, and liquid crystals. In this communication, the authors present a completely new method for the preparation of monosubstituted type unsymmetrical Pcs and Pc analogues, which utilizes the so-called subphthalocyanines (SubPcs).
