Abstract
A study was made of the effects of three different mixed solvent Shpol'skii matrices at 4.2 K on site formation and on vibronic progressions of palladium phthalocyanine. It is found that only a limited number of thermostable sites are formed and these sites are common to all three matrices, but vary in their statistical weights. However, in all solvents the statistical weights of the first few most important sites are similar, with the predominant site at least eight or nine times stronger than the next. As well, the vibrational features of both the ground state and the first excited states of a few of the most populated sites examined are practically the same for the different mixed solvents. The absence of any significant differences in site splitting implies the absence of any dipolar interaction effects on these splittings.The above findings provide a better insight into the interaction between phthalocyanine, intermediate solvent, and basic solvent (n-octane) in the three-component solutions and give a clear guideline for choosing convenient solvents and for using Shpol'skii matrices as a simple effective mechanism for producing quasi-line vibronic spectra of phthalocyanines and other related large molecules insoluble in the alkanes.
