Effects of the Gaseous Environment on Propagation of Anodic Reaction Boundaries in Lutetium Diphthalocyanine Films.

Abstract

Influences of the gaseous environment on the anodic oxidation of lutetium diphthalocyanine films contacted by aqueous Na2SO4 or KCl were investigated with a moving-boundary technique. Ambient water vapor was required to propagate the red/green boundary from both electrolytes. Oxygen was also required with the sulfate solution but not with the chloride. The results suggest that the diphthalocyanine oxidation product containing sulfate may bind oxygen reversibly at room temperature. (Author)
