Abstract
Various Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP)-bound acyl celluloses with different degrees of substitution of the TPP groups (DSTPP) and different acyl groups were prepared. TPP-bound acyl celluloses with DSTPP values less than 0.38 and myristoyl groups as the O-2 and O-3 substituents were suitable for obtaining LB mono-layer films with high quantum yields. The horizontal lifting method was better than the vertical dipping method for the deposition of LB films. The number of layers in LB multi-layer films of TPP-bound myristoyl cellulose with a DSTPP of 0.36 also influenced the quantum yield, and the quantum yield of the LB di-layer film was higher than those of the LB mono- and tri-layer films. This information will be useful in the improvement of the photocurrent generation performances of LB films of TPP-bound acyl celluloses.
