Synthesis of Copper Phthalocyanine Mono Sulfonic Acid and Properties of Lakes of Copper Phthalocyanine Sulfonic Acids

Properties of copper (fluoro-)phthalocyanine layers deposited on epitaxial graphene.

We investigate the atomic structure and electronic properties of monolayers of copper phthalocyanines (CuPc) deposited on epitaxial graphene substrate. We focus in particular on hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F(16)CuPc), using both theoretical and experimental (scanning tunneling microscopy - STM) studies. For the individual CuPc and F(16)CuPc molecules, we calculated the electronic and optical ...

Optical Properties of Copper Phthalocyanine(CuPc)Thin Films

Transport properties of copper phthalocyanine based organic electronic devices

As a particular class of planar aromatic compounds, metal phthalocyanines are considered for numerous applications since they show a variety of interesting physical and chemical properties. In particular, the semiconducting copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), is employed in several optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes or organic photovoltaic cells. The ambipolar charge carrier...

Synthesis and Photosensitizing Properties of an Activatable Phthalocyanine-Subphthalocyanine Triad

In this article, we describe a photosensitizer (PS) whose ability to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) and fluorescence emission has been designed as tumor responsive. More specifically, the PS consists of a silicon phthalocyanine (SiPc) core, axially substituted with two subphthalocyanine (SubPc) units, covalently linked by a disulfide linker, which is cleavable in the presence of a strong reducin...

Copper phthalocyanine based Schottky diode solar cells

Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/Aluminum (Al) Schottky diode solar cells were studied. The thickness of the CuPc layer was varied from 15 nm to 140 nm. Short circuit current densities (Jsc) increased with thickness from 0.042 mA/cm at 15 nm to 0.124 mA/cm at 120 nm reaching saturation at that level. Open circuit voltages (Voc) increased from 220 mV at 15 nm to 907 mV at 140 nm. Analysis of the cur...
