B. Reusch et al., THIN-FILM PREPARATION OF OLIGOMERIC SI-PHTHALOCYANINES - THERMAL-STABILITY AND SUBLIMATION BEHAVIOR, Thin solid films, 299(1-2), 1997, pp. 63-66
The thermal stability of rod-like phthalocyanines of the general formu
la R3SiO(SiPcO)(n)SiR3 with n = 1-4 and R = C6H13 was studied by tempe
rature dependent mass spectrometry and X-ray photoemission spectroscop
y. The stability of the monomer, dimer, and trimer is high, whereas th
e tetramer is thermally unstable and therefore cannot be used for thin
film preparation by sublimation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
