Abstract

The effect of an external electric field on narrow spectral holes in S1←S0 absorption bands of molecules of free-base phthalocyanine and its complex with Al in polyvinyl butyral films at 4.2 K was studied. It was found that the average values of the change in the electric dipole moment due to phototransitions in the free-base phthalocyanine and its complex amount to 0.135 and 0.145 D, respectively. Both these values considerably exceed the relevant values for phthalocyanine complexes with Zn and Mg in the same matrix. Possible causes of the observed effects are discussed. Most probably, they are related to the differences in the structure of the central part of phthalocyanine-type molecules.
