Description
Summary:	[Display omitted] •Tetratriphenylamine substituted soluble metal phthalocyanine.•Employment as hole transporting material in perovskite solar cells.•Preserves the hole transporting capacity of the parent molecule.•Very easy solution-processed solar cell construction. A soluble Zn phthalocyanine has been synthesized by tetra-substitution with triphenyl amine. This substance is functional as hole transporting material combined with organometal halide perovskite solar cells. The efficiency was slightly increased compared with previously studied insoluble copper phthalocyanine indicating that it is possible to make fully solution processed perovskite solar cells based on phthalocyanine as hole transporter.
