Study on synthesis of CuPc derivative and preparation of its Langmuir- Blodgett Films.
Ultra thin films of HDSM-CuPc(Tetra-3-hexadecylsulphamoylcopperphthalocya-nine) were formed on various substrates by Langmuir-Blodgett method, where HDSM-CuPc was synthesized by attaching long-chain alkylamine(hexa-decylamine) to CuPc. The reaction product was identified with FT- IR, UV-visible absorption spectroscopies, elemental analysis and thin layer chromatography. The formation of ultrathin films of HDSM-CuPc was confirmed by FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscpies.
