Electroreflection and Raman spectra (in situ and ex situ) of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) films (80 nm thick) have been studied. Raman spectra were resonantly and preresonantly enhanced. Both electroreflection and Raman experiments reveal the homogeneous inclusion of electrolyte anions upon oxidation of the film. The anions coordinate preferentially axial positions of the ZnPc molecule. This proc...

Synthesized of novel metal (II)- tetra-4-(N,N-dimethyl phenyl) methan-imine phthalocyanines (MTDMPhImPc) [ M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn] by an effective and suitable method. The tetra-nitrophthalocyanines converted into aminophthalocyanines reduction. Than amino derivatives bearing to form tetra substituted 4-(N,N-dimethyl methane-imine complexes. These compounds were characterized FTIR, elemental analys...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering ~SERS! spectroelectrochemical investigations have been carried out in real time on the electrodeposition of copper from sulfuric acid solutions. Sulfate spectra were observed during copper deposition, but not on a copper surface at the same potential in the absence of copper ions in solution. This indicated that sulfate adsorption is a transient process associa...

The synthesis and characterization of a novel ligand, bis[(2-ethyl-5-methyl-imidazo-4-yl)methyl]sulfide (bemims), as well as a bemims-containing copper(II) coordination complex are described. In this complex, [Cu(bemims)X(2)] with X = NO(3) (-), bemims acts as a tridentate ligand and two monodentate nitrate ions complete the coordination sphere. Both imidazole N atoms and the thioether S atom o...

The interplay of exchange correlations and spin-orbit interaction (SOI) on the many-body spectrum of a copper phtalocyanine (CuPc) molecule and their signatures in transport are investigated. We first derive a minimal model Hamiltonian in a basis of frontier orbitals that is able to reproduce experimentally observed singlet-triplet splittings. In a second step SOI effects are included perturbat...

The adsorption geometry and electronic properties of a zinc-phthalocyanine molecule on a Cu(111) substrate are studied by density functional theory. In agreement with experiment, we find remarkable distortions of the molecule, mainly as the central Zn atom tends towards the substrate to minimize the Zn-Cu distance. As a consequence, the Zn-N chemical bonding and energy levels of the molecule ar...
