| Abstract: | The preparation of a novel polymer of ethylenediamine bridged polymeric silicon phthalocyanine ( I ) with quasi-one-dimensional structure is described. The product was obtained by the condensation polymerization of ethylenediamine and silicon dichloride phthalocyanine (Cl2SiPc) monomers and was characterized by IR and UV/VIS spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The photoconductivity of the polymer I with the quasi-one-dimensional structure is much better than that of not only the corresponding Cl2SiPc monomer, but also other phthalocyanine polymers whose molecules are not one-dimensional structures, and showing the one-dimensional effects of molecular structure of increasing photoconductivity. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
