Nanocomposites of Metallophthalocyanines and Conjugated Polymers

Abstract

Nanocomposites of phenoxy-substituted vanadyl phthalocyanine with a pi- conjugated polymer, poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline ladder), have been prepared from their Lewis acid complexes in organic solvents. The resulting composite thin films obtained by spin-coating have excellent optical transparency and interesting composition-dependent morphology and photoelectronic properties. Enhanced photoconductivity, compared to the components, was observed in some composites with discrete nanoscale metallophthalocyanine aggregates.
