Abstract

Buckminsterfullerene(C 60) molecules have been known to form organic charge transfer (CT ) complexes with electron-donor compounds. In this study, we have prepared the complexes of fullerene and 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)-phthalocyaninato metal (MPc(OC 8H 17) 8, M=2H, Cu, Zn) by using the Langmuir-Blodgett ( LB ) technique on the air-water interface for investigating the interaction between C 60 and MPc(OC 8H 17) 8. Monolayers of mixtures of C 60 and MPc(OC 8H 17) 8 were prepared by spreading a benzene solution of C 60 and MPc(OC 8H 17) 8 on the air-water interface at 10 °C. The monolayers were transferred by the horizontal lifting method. These multilayer films were characterized by UV-Vis, polarized UV-Vis and X-ray diffraction measurements.
