Abstract

Abstract An investigation of the electrical conductivity of films consisting of multilayers of tetra-t−butyl-substituted copper phthalocyanine (TTBCuPc) films exposed to various levels of nitrogen oxides in air (within the ppm range) was carried out. The TTBCuPc films were deposited, using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, onto glass substrates. Gold interdigital electrodes (ca. 2μm thick, 100 μm wide and 100 μm spaced) were evaporated on the top of the films. High reproducibility and reasonable sensitivity of the sensors to the nitrogen oxide at a relatively low temperature (313 K) suggest that TTBCuPc may be a viable material for gas sensing devices.
