α(β)-tetra-(methoxy-phenoxy)-zinc phthalocyanine are synthesized by employing 3(4)nitrobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile as precursors. They are characterized by spectrum methods and elemental analysis. The UV-Vis spectrum, photoluminescence spectra of spin-coated film and solid pellet are compared. The electroluminescent devices are fabricated by using spin coating. The results indicate that the fluorescence of solid phthalocyanine has a red-shift of more than 145 nm compared to that in solution. The fluorescences are broader in solid state than that in solution. The fluorescence of β-substituted phthalcyanines has a more red-shift than α-substituted phthalcyanines. The electroluminescent spectra around 856 and 862 nm are consisted with the photoluminescence spectra of spin-coated film. The shorter inter-molecule space leads to the large red-shift of the fluorescence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
