Abstract
The photoconductive properties of 5.10,15,20-tetrakis(4-n-pentadecyl-phenyl )porphinatooxovanadium([V) was investigated to be compared with those of th e free base compound for a symmetrical sandwich-type ITO cell. The similar photocurrent rectification behavior to the free base tetraphenylporphyrin m esogen was shown, However, the observed photocurrent remarkably larger than that of the free base compound for all phases. The temperature dependence of the dark- and photo-currents were also investigated.
