Abstract:
1. A compound comprising a boron subphthalocyanine moiety, a plurality of solubilizing substituents positioned on peripheral cyclic groups of the boron subphthalocyanine moiety and an axial substituent positioned on the boron atom, wherein the plurality of solubilizing substituents comprise an oxygen or sulfur containing functional group and a substituted or unsubstituted, linear, branched or cyclic, aliphatic or aromatic terminal hydrocarbyl group that is 8 or more carbon atoms in length, the hydrocarbyl group optionally containing one or more heteroatoms, wherein the axial substituent is cyclic and is selected from the group consisting of heterocyclic amine groups, diaryl ketone groups, benzotriazole groups, benzyl alcohol groups and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups, the cyclic group being bonded to the boron atom by an oxygen containing linking moiety, the cyclic group optionally being substituted with one or more additional substituents, with the proviso that if the axial group is the benzyl alcohol group, the alcohol substituent of the benzyl alcohol is not the oxygen containing linking moiety.
