Abstract
Some novel liquid crystalline phthalocyanines form extraordinary supra molecular structures. These include an amphiphilic phthalocyanine disp laying lyotropic as well as thermotropic behavior, a chiral phthalocya nine forming a helical mesophase at room temperature, and a liquid cry stalline phthalocyanine containing crown ether rings which forms large columnar aggregates in solution. All these compounds can be used to p repare Langmuir-Blodgett films with varying arrangements of the molecu les.
