Thin films of differently substituted metal phthalocyanines were grown on alkali halide (NaCl, KCl and KBr) 001 faces and on wurtzite GaN 0001 on sapphire by physical vapor deposition. The films were studied during growth from the monolayer thickness regime to an average film thickness of 100 nm. Since phthalocyanines are characterized by a large oscillator strength of the electronic transition following absorption of visible light and by strong intermolecular dipole coupling of the transition dipoles in the solid state, optical measurements are well suited to study the development of intermolecular coupling and crystal structure during film growth. In- situ optical analysis was performed in transmission geometry perpendicular to the molecular deposition beam to achieve sub- monolayer sensitivity. The results are discussed in context of structural and morphological characteristics of the observed films.
