Abstract In this chapter, recent progress in the synthesis, crystal structures and physical properties of monomeric phthalocyanines (Pcs) is summarized and analysed. The strategies for synthesis and modification of Pcs include axial coordination of central metal ions, peripheral substitution of Pc rings and the ionization of Pcs. The crystal structures of various typical Pcs, especially the effects of different synthetic and modification strategies on the supramolecular assemblies of Pcs via %—% interactions between Pc rings, are discussed in detail. Finally, the UV-vis spectroscopic, conducting, magnetic and catalytic properties of some Pcs with crystal structures are presented briefly, and the correlations between various properties and the molecular structure discussed.

At these nano scales, matter behaves quite differently than it would at the macro level to which we are accustomed. Properties such as conductivity, magnetism, melting and boiling points, and reactivity may be dissimilar at the nano and macro scales due to the quantum mechanical behavior of small structures at molecular dimensions.
