Abstract
1,4-Di(2-hydroxyethoxy)-9,10,16,17,23,24-hexapentyloxy phthalocyanine (asy-Pc) has been deposited as well-ordered Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films on a glass substrate and glass-bearing interdigital electrodes. The molecular orientation of the asy-Pc LB films has been characterized by polarized UV-vis absorption spectra and in-plane dichroism has been observed. The LB films show good room temperature response to NO 2 gas and the recovery is almost complete. It has been found that the magnitude of the response increases with increasing gas concentration and is also dependent upon the LB dipping direction relative to the arms of the electrodes, consistent with conduction being favored along the axes of the stacks of asy-Pc molecules.
