Weak epitaxy growth and phase behavior of planar phthalocyanines on p-sexiphenyl monolayer film

We systematically investigated the weak epitaxy growth (WEG) behavior of a series of planar phthalocyanine compounds (MPc), i.e., metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc), nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc), copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), iron phthalocyanine (FePc), cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc), grown on a p-sexiphenyl ( p-6P) monolayer film by selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Two types of epitaxial relations, named as incommensurate epitaxy and commensurate epitaxy, were identified between phthalocyanine compounds and the substrate of the p-6P film. The tiny variation of the lattice constant of phthalocyanine compounds can result in different crystal orientations. The change rule of incommensurate and commensurate epitaxy was extracted. The tendency of commensurate epitaxy becomes weaker as the lattice constant b increases, while it gets stronger as the substrate temperature is elevated. Large size and continuous H2Pc films can be obtained by controlling the growth conditions. The WEG method is generally applicable in the whole family of planar phthalocyanine compounds and may be used to fabricate other high-quality organic films.     

Atypical Film-Forming Behavior of Soluble Tetra-3-Nitro-Substituted Copper Phthalocyanine

Thin films of metal phthalocyanines (MPc) are known to exhibit excellent physical properties but poorly controlled morphologies. Therefore, the present work seeks to understand the film growth mechanism of a model compound for potentially usable MPc, specifically, copper tetra(3-nitro-5-tert-butyl)phthalocyanine (CuPc*). The Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) technique was applied to prepare a series of CuPc* films under different processing conditions. The film growth was examined by Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) on the water surface and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) from the solid films. Neutron reflectometry (NR) measurements of the water uptake into the films and computer simulation of hydrated CuPc* were performed to substantiate an idea of colloidal MPc-water aggregates as nanoscale precursors of smooth solid films. This idea appears fruitful in terms of materials chemistry.     

Molecular dynamics method in studies of molecular film growth processes

This review is an attempt to analyze some of the experimental problems arising in the course of growth of orientated molecular films using metal monophthalocyanine (MPc) films as an example and to demonstrate the possibilities of molecular dynamics simulation of these processes for solving experimental problems. Examples of theoretical simulation of adsorption processes are given; formation of a molecular monolayer is considered for copper phthalocyanine films as an example.     

Electrophoretic deposition of phthalocyanine in organic solutions containing trifluoroacetic acid

The absorption spectra of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) solutions containing trifluoroacetic acid (TFAA) shows that the number of protons coordinating to the CuPc molecule was 1 and 2 for the first and second proton adducts, respectively, which indicates the formations of CuPcH(+) and CuPcH(2)(2+). This CuPc molecule may act as a catalyst to dissociate TFAA into trifluoroacetate anion (A(-)) and H(+) and form the proton adducts. The electrical conductivity dependence of the solution on CuPc concentration also supports this mechanism. A dense film of CuPc was deposited on an indium tin oxide cathode plate by electrophoresis of the solution. Similar dense films of a wide variety of phthalocyanines (MPc; M = Cu, H(2), Fe, Ni, Zn, Pb, VO) were also deposited using this method. Similar films of CuPc were also formed using dichloromethane (DCM) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCE) in place of DCE. Depositions are ascribed to the migration of positively charged monomers (i.e., protonated MPc). Scanning electron microscopy revealed that these films are composed of fibrous crystallites, size of which was found to increase with the electrophoresis time, the strength of the applied electrical field and the concentration of CuPc in the bath. The influence of the dielectric constant of the organic solvent on the film growth is discussed.     

Selective detection of vapor phase hydrogen peroxide with phthalocyanine chemiresistors

The use of hydrogen peroxide as a precursor to improvised explosives has made its detection a topic of critical importance. Chemiresistor arrays comprised of 50 nm thick films of metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) are redox selective vapor sensors of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is shown to decrease currents in cobalt phthalocyanine sensors while it increases currents in nickel, copper, and metal-free phthalocyanine sensors; oxidation and reduction of hydrogen peroxide via catalysis at the phthalocyanine surface are consistent with the pattern of sensor responses. This represents the first example of MPc vapor sensors being oxidized and reduced by the same analyte by varying the metal center. Consequently, differential analysis by redox contrast with catalytic amplification using a small array of sensors may be used to uniquely identify peroxide vapors. Metallophthalocyanine chemiresistors represent an improvement over existing peroxide vapor detection technologies in durability and selectivity in a greatly decreased package size.     

Multi-electron transfer in composite phthalocyanine thin films: structure and electrochromic properties

Both sequentially deposited double-layered and codeposited composite thin films were prepared by using two kinds of phthalocyanines. The structure and the electrochromic property of these thin films were compared with those of simple phthalocyanine films. The structures of the films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffrction (XRD) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. From the viewpoint of morphology and crystallinity, codeposited thin films have the same structure as the simple one, having sharp peaks at ca. 2θ=7.0° in the XRD pattern and narrow crystal grains in SEM photographs. ESR measurements have revealed that phthalocyanine molecules disperse very well in the codeposited thin films in a molecular level in comparison with the physical mixture of phthalocyanine powders. This high dispersibility of the molecules in the codeposited thin films can play a role to improve the reversibility in the electrochromism. Thus, the reversibility of the phthalocyanine, which shows irreversible electrochromism in the simple film form, can be improved by the codeposition with another phthalocyanine with reversible electrochromism. In contrast, sequentially deposted double-layered thin film gives completely different results. The electrochromism of the double-layered film depends on the property of the simple phthalocyanine thin film which is in contact with the substrate.     

Theoretical study on the molecular structures of X-, α-, and β-types of lithium phthalocyanine dimer

We report here the results from theoretical calculations of the potential energy curves, the geometry optimizations, and the electronic structures for three dimers of lithium phthalocyanine (LiPc) by using three types of functional systems: PBE1PBE, B3LYP, and M06. The results were discussed in comparison with those obtained for the dimers of magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPc). The long-range dispersive interactions were considered in part using these functional systems in the increasing order of PBE1PBE, B3LYP, and M06. The mechanism whereby the dispersive interactions affect the geometric and electronic structures of the LiPc and MgPc dimers is discussed. The calculated results provide insight into the computational methods for both open- and closed-shell metal phthalocyanine (MPc) dimers: Although the PBE1PBE and B3LYP functional systems cannot evaluate a weak dispersion interaction appropriately, the M06 functional can estimate a weak dispersion interaction well in both open- and closed-shell MPc dimers. Basis set superposition error (BSSE) corrections play an important role for the quantitative analysis; however, the calculation results without BSSE corrections may be sufficient for the qualitative discussion on the properties of these dimers such as geometries, stabilities, electronic structures, and so on.     

Vacuum ultraviolet mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectroscopy of hexafluorobenzene: the Jahn-Teller effect and vibrational analysis

One-photon mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectrum of hexafluorobenzene was obtained by using vacuum ultraviolet radiation generated by four-wave difference frequency mixing in Kr. The ionization energy of hexafluorobenzene determined from the position of the 0-0 band was 9.9108+/-0.0006 eV. To aid the spectral analysis, the Jahn-Teller coupling parameters for four e(2g) modes of C(6)F(6) (+) in the ground electronic state were calculated from the topographical data of the potential energy surface obtained at the density functional theory (DFT) level. These were used in the initial calculation of the energies of the Jahn-Teller states and upgraded through the multimode fit to the experimental data. Excellent agreement between the experimental and calculated frequencies was achieved. The vibrations which are not linear Jahn-Teller active were observed and could be assigned by referring to the frequencies obtained at the DFT level.

One-photon mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectroscopy of 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene: the Jahn-Teller effect and vibrational analysis for the molecular cation in the ground electronic state

One-photon mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectrum of 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene was obtained by using vacuum ultraviolet radiation generated by four-wave difference frequency mixing in Kr. The Jahn-Teller parameters for the e' modes (nu(8)-nu(14)) of 1,3,5-C(6)H(3)F(3)(+) in the ground electronic state needed for spectral analysis were taken from the density functional theory results initially and were upgraded through fits to the experimental results. Excellent agreement was achieved between the experimental and calculated Jahn-Teller energy levels. Assignments of the Jahn-Teller inactive modes were accomplished by referring to the calculated frequencies and the selection rule. The ionization energy of 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene determined from the position of the 0-0 band was 9.6359+/-0.0006 eV.     

Graphene wrapped phthalocyanine: Enhanced oxidative desulfurization for dibenzothiophene in fuel

Graphene wrapped metal phthalocyanine (MPc/RGO, M = Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺) composites are synthesized by a facile ‘in situ hydrothermal’ method, using graphene oxide, M (CH₃COO)₂ and phthalic anhydride as the precursors. A biomimetic catalytic system of MPc/RGO and molecular O₂ have high activity for ultra‐deep removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in model oil containing n‐octane. Compared with pure graphene oxide and MPc, MPc/RGO composites displayed highly enhanced catalytic activity for the oxidation of dibenzothiophene in n‐octane. The conversion ratio of DBT was up to 97.51% after 180 min treatment at 60 °C and atmospheric pressure. The photostability of RGO/MPc composites photocatalystic degradation of dibenzothiophene was investigated. Mechanistic studies revealed that the RGO/MPc ? O₂ · species were the main active intermediate via the π‐π stacking interaction of MPc and RGO. The RGO wrapped phthalocyanine materials offer great potential as active photocatalysts for degradation of thiophene derivatives in fuel.     

The optical properties of a novel metal-free phthalocyanine

In the present work, 4-(4′-dodecyloxycarbonyl) phenoxy phthalonitrile was synthesized and then this phthalonitrile derivative was cyclotetramerized in dodecanol resulting a new metal-free phthalocyanine. The optical properties of this phthalocyanine were investigated. Novel metal-free phthalocyanine thin films were deposited on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates by spinning method. Surface and microstructural properties of the films were characterized by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Both the transmittance and reflectance spectra of the deposited films were recorded using an NKD analyser. The optical band gap energy, the thickness of thin films, refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) were calculated as 2.7 eV, 300 nm, 1.47 and 0.02, respectively.     

EFFICIENT PHOTOREDUCTION OF METHYLVIOLOGEN BY METALLOPHTHALOCYANINE SENSITIZERS

Abstract— Metallophthalocyanines (MPc) and tetrasubstituted magnesium phthalocyanines (MgPcR₄) were investigated as sensitizers for the photoreduction of methylviologen (MV²⁺) under visible light(420–800 nm) irradiation using disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Na₂EDTA) as an electron donor in dimethyl formamide (DMF)-water mixture. Magnesium phthalocyanine and aluminium phthalocyanine were found to be the most efficient sensitizers among nine MPc's examined (M = 2Li, 2Na, Mg, Ca, Al(Cl), Fe, Ni, Co, and Zn). The following sequence of the efficiency among MgPc and MgPcR₄'s was obtained.     

Metallophthalocyanines photosensitize the breakdown of (hydro)peroxides in solution to yield hydroxyl or alkoxyl and peroxyl free radicals via different interaction pathways

Interactions of organic peroxides (R'OOR) and hydroperoxides (R'OOH), including H2O2, with excited triplet and singlet state metallophthalocyanines (MPc, M = Zn, Al) have been studied by T-T absorption decay and fluorescence quenching. The ensuing photochemical processes result in decomposition of (hydro)peroxides as assessed by photo-EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) and spin trapping. In argon-saturated apolar solutions and low MPc concentrations, alkoxyl free radicals (*OR) were identified as the primary products of (hydro)peroxide breakdown. Similarly, photosensitized decomposition of symmetric disulfides results in the formation of sulfur-centered radicals. In air-free aqueous solutions, ROOH photosensitization always gave rise to a mixture of hydroxyl and peroxyl radical (*OOR) adducts in varying molar ratios. At high MPc concentrations, both in polar and in apolar solutions, the most abundant products of ROOH decomposition were identified as *OOR. This indicates a change in the predominant interaction pathway, most likely mediated by MPc exciplexes and involving H-atom abstraction from ROOH by MPc-cation radicals. The prevalence of MPc singlet vs. triplet state interactions was confirmed by the much higher singlet quenching rate constants (log kq up to 9.5; vs. log kT < or = 4.5). In contrast to the triplet quenching, singlet quenching rates were found to depend on the (hydro)peroxide structure, following closely the trend of varying *OR yields for different substrates. Thermodynamic calculations were performed to correlate experimental results with models for electronic energy and charge transfer processes in agreement with the Marcus theory (Rhem and Weller approximation) and Savéant's model for a concerted dissociative electron transfer mechanism.     

Potassium induced phase transition of FePc thin films

We have studied the structure and stoichiometry of potassium doped iron phthalocyanine (FePc) films using a combination of electron diffraction and core level excitation studies. We show that iron phthalocyanine undergoes structural phase transitions upon potassium addition, which can be described by the formation of two potassium doped phases with K2FePc and K4FePc composition.     

Magnetic circular dichroism of phthalocyanine (m=mg, zn) and tetraazaporphyrin (m=mg, zn, ni) metal complexes. A computational study based on time-dependent density functional theory

We present here simulated magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of MTAP (M=Mg, Ni, Zn) and MPc (M=Mg, Zn) where TAP=tetraazaporphyrin and Pc=phthalocyanine. The study is based on magnetically perturbed time-dependent density functional theory (MP-TDDFT) and a newly implemented method for the calculation of A and B terms from the theory of MCD. It follows from our investigation that the MCD spectrum for the MTAP and MPc systems in the Q-band region consists of a single positive A term augmented by a positive B term, in agreement with experiment where available. The Q band can be fully characterized in terms of the 2a1u-->2eg one-electron excitation. For the aza systems MgTAP and ZnTAP, the simulated MCD spectra in the Soret region are dominated by the two one-electron excitations 2a2u-->2eg and 1a2u-->2eg and has the appearance of a positive A term (with values between 1.33-1.55, depending on the MTAP system) made asymmetric by a negative B term, in good agreement with experiment. We find, in agreement with all available experimental findings on MPc (M=Mg, Zn) type systems, that the MCD spectra in the Soret region are dominated by two transitions with positive A/ D-term values and two negative B/ D-term values. The major contribution to the two transitions comes from the 2a2u-->2eg and 1a2u-->2eg one-electron excitations. It appears that the ratio of A/ B for the term parameters is underestimated by theory.     

Excited state dynamics of metastable phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonate tetra-anions probed by pump/probe photoelectron spectroscopy

Femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study elementary relaxation processes occurring in isolated phthalocyanine-tetrasulfonate tetra-anions ([MPc(SO3)4]4-, M=Cu,Ni, and "free-base" [H2Pc(SO3)4]4-) following Q band excitation by one-photon absorption at 775 nm. Whereas the Cu and Ni systems decay rapidly by means of internal conversion without electron loss, the free-base phthalocyanine primarily undergoes excited state tunneling electron emission. This reflects less efficient coupling to lower lying states within the corresponding spin manifold. Results are interpreted in terms of (time-dependent) density functional theory calculations of ground and electronically excited states and kinetically modeled to yield the associated rates.
