M. Wang et al., SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY STUDY OF VKCUPC MONOMER AND ITS HOMOPOLYMER, Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. A, Chemistry, 94(2-3), 1996, pp. 249-251
A novel large monomer of vinylcarbazole bonded to copper phthalocyanin
e (VKCuPc) is synthesized by diazo-reaction of vinylcarbazole (VK) and
the diazonium salt of dinitro-diamine copper phthalocyanine [CuPc(NO2
)(2)(NH2)(2)]. Through homopolymerization, poly( vinylcarbazole bonded
CuPc) (I) is obtained. The structures of the monomer and the homopoly
mer (I) are identified by IR, UV/VIS, VPO, elemental analysis and atom
ic absorption. The VKCuPc monomer and the homopolymer show much better
photoconductivity compared with CuPc.
