Abstract
A symmetrically substituted ytterbium bisphthalocyanine complex in com mon organic solvents formed stable Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. The s urface pressure versus area isotherm of a Langmuir film on water subph ase (pH ca. 5.4, 17 degrees C) has been investigated and an average ar ea per molecule of 190 Angstrom(2) is measured. The optical absorption increases linearly with the number of deposited layers. These films c an be deposited in reproducible manner. The associated forms of the co mpound and the particular orientation of R8YbPc2 molecular macrocycles in LB films are determined by polarized ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectra.
