1,4-dibutoxy-2,3-di(4-pyridyl)-8,11,15,18,22,25-hexakis(hexyl)- phthalocyaninato zinc, a self-assembled coordination polymer in the solid state.

The title compound forms intermolecular zinc-nitrogen coordinated species in solution and self-assembles to form a coordination polymer in the solid state, the X-ray structure for which shows that the unit cell contains eight macrocycle units in two chains comprising both enantiomeric forms as ABBA/BAAB sequences.
