Abstract

It is well known that the metallo- phthalocyanine (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as NO$_2$and also chemically and thermally stable. Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied for the potential chemical sensor for NO$_2$gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy) copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir -Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Transfer condition, and characterization of LB films were investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to NO$_2$gas as a function of film thickness, temperature and temperature were discussed.
