H. Monobe et al., Photoconductive properties of a mesogenic long-chain tetraphenylporphyrin oxovanadium(IV) complex in a symmetrical sandwich-type ITO cell, MOLEC CRYST, 368, 2001, pp. 4079-4086
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.
