Jp. Germain et al., Influence of peripheral electron-withdrawing substituents on the conductivity of zinc phthalocyanine in the presence of gases. Part 2: oxidizing gases, THIN SOL FI, 333(1-2), 1998, pp. 235-239
The action of the oxidizing gases O-2 and NO2 on the electrical conductivit
y of thin layers of ZnF16Pc and ZnPc is investigated. Differences in the be
havior of the two phthalocyanines are interpreted on the basis of electroch
emical data and compared to previous results obtained with NH3 and H-2. The
metallo phthalocyanine gas responses vary as a function of the presence of
substituents on the macrocycle. Gas sensor application is considered. (C)
