Porphycenes were first synthesized by the group of Emanuel Vogel in 1986.[1] Over the years new synthetic routes have been introduced and since then a variety of porphycenes has been generated[2]and used to some extent in the fields of catalysis, protein mimicry and materials science. Due to their intense absorptions in the long-wavelength region, porphycenes are interesting candidates as dyes in photovoltaic applications.
We have started to look into the preparation of functionalized porphycenes with respect to charges, anchor groups, and arylated materials.

Here, we wish to report on the synthesis and some photovoltaic device formation[3,4]of our novel porphycenes.
