Abstract

AbstractThe near-edge electronic structures of several dyes and phtalocyanines were investigated using Photo-Electron Spectroscopy in Air (PESA). The ionization potentials (IPs) of N3, N719, Z907, D102, D149 and D205 were derived from observed photoemission threshold energies to be 5.88, 5.47, 5.44, 5.53, 5.44 and 5.49eV, respectively. Density of states (DOS) of Fe-, Ni-, Cu- and H2-phthalocyanines were deduced from differentiation of observed photoemission yields with incident photon energies. DOS thus obtained were well compared with calculated ones estimated with use of the DV-Xα molecular orbital calculation method.
