Phthalocyanines have increasing interest for applications in molecular electronics, solar energy conversion, liquid crystals, and more. Humeyra Mert, Hatice Dinçer, Emel Çalişkan, Betül Nur Şen, and Yeşim Hepuzer Gürsel prepare an asymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine-functional photocurable copolymer by the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization and copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cyclo-addition click reaction and used as polymer matrix of polymer dispersed liquid crystal film. Synthesized copolymer is crosslinked in the presence of liquid crystalline mesogen 4′-(octyloxy)-4-biphenylcarbonitrile (8OCB). The cover shows a polarized optical micrograph of 8OCB taken during heating from crystal to isotropic phase. (DOI: 10.1002/app.41574)
