Photoconductivity of Intrinsic Semiconductor Phthalocyanine-Based Covalent Organic Polymer with Benzimidazole Linkage

Abstract

Novel phthalocyanine-based benzimidazole linked conjugated covalent organic polymer (NiPc-COP1) have been synthesized with multiple randomly ordered crystalline morphology. This unique alignment leads to significantly enhanced panchromatic light-absorption capability, thus high photoconductivity with high photoresponce speed.
