Thin films of the zinc, copper or vanadium-oxo complexes of F64Pc, a perfluoro(isopropyl)phthalocyanine were prepared by physical vapor deposition in vacuum. Electrical conduction and optical transmission measurements were performed during the deposition of films to analyze the formation of conducting pathways, the mechanism of film growth and intermolecular electronic coupling. Transmission spectra of the films to a large extent resembled those of solutions of the molecules speaking in favor of widely decoupled molecules. A low extent of intermolecular electronic coupling was also concluded from the small specific conductivity 10−11 − 10−9 S cm−1. A further decreasing specific conductivity upon exposure to air confirmed the n-type characteristics expected from the strongly electron- withdrawing characteristics of the perfluoro- alkyl substituents. The potential to apply this new class of molecular semiconductor materials in devices is discussed.
