Effect of annealing temperature on the optical properties of thermally evaporated tin phthalocyanine thin films

Influence of X-ray irradiation on the optical properties of ruthenium(II)octa-(n-hexyl)-phthalocyanine thin film

“…1. 2.2. Synthesis of 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(n-hexyl)phthalocyaninatoruthenium(II) (2) A mixture of 4,5-di-n-hexylphthalonitrile (1.2 g, 3.64 mmol), ruthenium(III) chloride trihydrate (0.26 g, 1 mmol) and diazabicyclo [5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) (0.45 g, 3 mmol) was stirred in 2-ethoxyethanol (10 ml) under nitrogen at reflux temperature for 22 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, methanol (7 ml) and water (10 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The precipitated solid was filtered off, washed with a methanol/water mixture (1/1, v/v) and dried under vacuum. The crude product (0.48 g) was subjected to column chromatography (50 g of silica gel, chloroform eluent) to yield 0.37 g (30%) of compound 2 as blue violet powder.…”

“…These have been exploited in modern optoelectronic devices such as photoconductors [5] and also as active components in organic electronic devices [6] like organic light-emitting diodes [7], organic field effect transistors [8,9] and organic photovoltaic cells [3]. Extensive work has been carried out on numerous metal phthalocyanines [2,10], ruthenium phthalocayanine (RuPc), which tends to be a promising compound due to its chemical-physical behaviour, it remains largely unexplored in these areas [11].…”

“…This leads to increase the possibility of implementing innovative applications in many adjacent disciplines such as nanotechnology, sensors and photonics [1][2][3]. Among the wide range of organic semiconductors considered, metal phthalocyanines (Pcs) with excellent growth properties with chemical and thermal stability, are one of the most promising candidates for the production of the majority of modern optoelectronic devices [4].…”

“…(RuPc) thin films were investigated. Complex (2) was prepared by modifying the synthetic method carried out by Hanack et al [12,13]. They have prepared ruthenium phthalocyanine complexes with no peripheral substituent.…”

Charge injection across a metal-organic interface suppressed by thermal diffusion

“…[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4863205] Metallo-phthalocyanines (MPcs) are molecular semiconductors with interesting structural, [1][2][3][4] optical, [5][6][7][8] and electrical properties. 9 MPc-based devices have been studied for applications in solar cells, [10][11][12] organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), [13][14][15] chemical sensors, [16][17][18][19][20] and organic field effect transistors (OFETs).…”
