Thin films of a mixture of perfluorinated phthalocyanines F16PcCu and F64PcCu were prepared by simultaneous vapor deposition. UV/Vis spectroscopy revealed moderate intermolecular coupling between F16PcCu and F64PcCu in the mixed films. Electrochemical characterization using KCl electrolyte showed comparable transport coefficients of electrons and ions in the 1:1 F16PcCu:F64PcCu mixed films.
Thin films of a mixture of the perfluorinated phthalocyanines 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11,15,16,17,18,22,23,24,25-hexadeca-fluorophthalocyaninato copper(II) (F16PcCu) and 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octakis-fluoro2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis-perfluoro-(isopropyl) phthalocyaninato copper(II) (F64PcCu) of different thicknesses and mixing ratios were prepared by simultaneous vapor deposition. A moderate extent of the intermolecular coupling between F16PcCu and F64PcCu within the mixed films comparable to that reported earlier for tetrakisperfluoroisopropyl-perfluoro phthalocyanine (F40PcCu) was revealed by UV/Vis spectroscopy. The electrochromic properties as well as the transport of electrons and counter cations in the 1:1 F-16 PcCu:F64PcCu mixed films were investigated by electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical characterization using an aqueous solution of KCl as electrolyte. The transport coefficients of electrons and ions of these films were comparable to those reported for F40PcCu films, for which a well-balanced, equally fast transport of both electrons and ions had been seen. Fast, reversible, and stable switching characteristics of the mixed films, upon reduction and intercalation of K+ counterions and re-oxidation with extraction of the counterions, were observed by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and simultaneously measured optical absorption spectra.
