Generalized data and new results characterizing the molecular metal phthalocyanine com plexes with electron donor and π-π complexing agents are presented. It is shown that the crystalline packing of pseudopolymorphs formed by molecular complexes of metal phthalocyanine : ligand = 1 : 2 is similar to the packing of molecules of metal phthalocyanine in the β polymorphic form, while the molecular complex (1 : 1) shows similarity to the α polymorph. The topography of films based on axial and π-π complexes Zn(tert Bu) 4 Pc is evaluated. It is shown that the surface of films based on biligand complexes is generally smooth, flat, and dense, although there are some rather large crystal lites. The topography of the films is not regular, because the π stacking axis of the pseudopolymorphs of β crystallites is situated perpendicularly to the substrate. Films obtained on the basis of monoligand complexes are layered; the layers are perpendicular to the substrate, and the topography of the film is regular, because the π stacking axis of the pseudopolymorphs of α crystallites is parallel to the quartz substrate. An alternative way to obtain metal phthalocyanines of a given polymorphic modification is discussed.
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.
