Formation of azopyridine/phthalocyaninatoiron complexes on the air-water interface and electrical properties of their Langmuir-Blodgett films

New bisaxially coordinated phthalocyaninatoiron complexes were synthesized by melting azopyridines and phthalocyaninatoiron. Monolayers of azopyridine/phthalocyaninatoiron complexes were spread from their benzene solutions, and the π-A isotherms were measured. The multilayer thin films were fabricated by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The structure of the multilayer thin films was investigated by UV-Vis spectra, X-ray diffraction, and FT-IR measurements. These LB films are rendered electrically conductive by doping with strong oxidizing agents such as NOPF6, I2, and SbCl5.
