Synthesis, characterization and dielectric properties of novel axial coumarin-substituted titanium(IV) phthalocyanines

Abstract

The oxotitanium(IV) phthalocyanine (2) and axial coumarin-substituted derivatives (5 and 6) have been synthesized, and characterized by IR, UV–Vis, fluorescence, 1H NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. It was observed that the reaction of novel oxotitanium(IV) phthalocyanine with orthodihyroxycoumarin compounds gives its derivatives, substituted by coumarin at the axial position. The electronic and interface state density properties of the Ag/Pc/p-Si diodes have been investigated by current–voltage (I–V) and conductance–frequency–voltage (G–ω–V) methods. It was found that, the conduction mechanism of the diodes is controlled by the thermoionic emission mechanism. From the analysis of frequency, ω, dependence of electrical conductivity, σac, it was found that the σac obeys the power law given by σac=σ0ωs. The interface state density of the diodes were determined from (G/ω)–ω plots. It was found that the kind of substitution affects both the interface and ac electrical properties of the phthalocyanine complexes considerably. The obtained results show that the Ag/6/p-Si heterojunction is a good candidate for the electronic device applications.
