In this work, the results of mass spectrometric studies of the composition of gaseous phase under solid
compounds of tetra-tert-butyl substituted phthalocyanines MPc(t-Bu)4 , with M = Cu(II), VO are presented.
The vapour pressure of this phthalocyanine is determined as a function of temperature by the Knudsen effusion method, in which the rate of effusion of the equilibrium vapour through a small orifice
is measured. It is shown that these tetra-tert-butyl-phthalocyanines exhibit higher volatility than their
unsubstituted analogues. Such data are needed in order to improve the operating conditions of the growth
of thin films by OMBD. The investigation of structural features of MPc(t-Bu)4 films was carried out using
UV–vis spectral and XRD data.

1. Introduction
Phthalocyanines are among the most important fine chemicals
in industry and are utilized in many technological applications
such as sensors, organic semiconductors, pigments, optoelectronic
devices, solar cells, catalysis, nonlinear optics and nanomaterials [1,2]. In order to optimise their potential utility for optical or
electronic device applications, it is necessary to obtain uniform
films of these compounds with easily controllable architecture and
ordering. The choice of film deposition method depends on the
phthalocyanine properties, and thin films of unsubstituted phthalocyanines are usually obtained by vacuum thermal evaporation or
organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD) technique [3].
The introduction of peripheral substituents in the metallophthalocyanine molecule, i.e. tert-butyl analogues, provides
better solubility and extends the potential applications of these
macromolecules. The tert-butyl substituted phthalocyanines are
characterized by both, high solubility in organic solvents and good
volatility in vacuum, and they were shown to be good candidates
for preparation of thin films not only by “wet” procedures [4–9] but
also by vacuum thermal evaporation.
There are some examples of deposition of tetra-tert-butyl
metal phthalocyanine films by thermal evaporation in literature.
The deposition of tetra-tert-butyl copper phthalocyanine films
was carried out at base pressure of 3 × 10−5 Torr onto substrates

kept at room temperature [10], and the effects of heat treatment on films’ characteristics and their gas sensing properties
were studied. Using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy
(STM/STS) the room temperature growth under ultra-high-vacuum
conditions and the ordering of copper(II)2,9,16,23-tetra-tertbutyl-phthalocyanine surface have also been investigated [11].
In Ref. [12], copper tetra-tert-butyl-phthalocyanine was vacuum deposited onto substrates of hydrophilic glass, hydrophobic
silanized-glass, and onto glass slides pre-coated with one layer of
CuPc(t-Bu)4 Langmuir–Blodgett film. The effects of the substrate
surface treatment on the growth behavior and characteristics of
CuPc(t-Bu)4 films were studied by atomic force microscopy as well
as XRD and dynamic contact angle analyzer.
In order to develop the regimes of thermal evaporation correctly it is found necessary to measure the vapour pressure of
these phthalocyanines as a function of a temperature by the Knudsen effusion method. On the basis of these data the intensities of
molecular beam and the rate of film growth are calculated, and the
conditions of deposition of polycrystalline phthalocyanine films are
optimised.
The investigation of CuPc and chlorinated CuPc in the gaseous
phase by mass spectrometry has been carried out in Refs. [13–15].
Mass spectra for PcMIII X (M = Al, In, Y; X = Cl, Br) and PcMV X3
(M = Ta, Nb; X = Cl, Br) have been reported in Ref. [16]. The authors
of Ref. [17] used mass spectra for the identification of aluminum
phthalocyanines. Using the effusion method, the vapour pressure of
copper phthalocyanine in the temperature range from 384 to 449 ◦ C
was found 30 years ago by Curry and Shaw [18]. Vapour pressures of
cobalt and tin phthalocyanines and some substituted free phthalocyanines have been measured by the effusion technique [19], and

heats and entropies of sublimation were obtained. The evaporation
rate and saturated vapour pressure for series of metal phthalocyanines such as CuPc, NiPc, PbPc and TiOPc have been evaluated by
thermogravimetry in vacuum by Yase et al. [20].
While the saturated vapor pressure of some unsubstituted
phthalocyanines have been studied, the data on investigation of
the behavior of substituted phthalocyanines in the gas phase
are practically absent in the literature. The vapour pressure of
two halogen-substituted phthalocyanines, hexadecachloro- and
hexadecabromo-phthalocyanines (H2 PcCl16 and H2 PcBr16 ) were
studied [19]. Mass spectrometric studies of the composition of
the gaseous phase and the measurements of temperature dependence of the saturated vapour pressure of hexadecafluorinated
phthalocyanines of copper, zink and vanadyl were performed by
the authors of Ref. [21].
In this work, the results of mass spectrometric studies of the
composition of gaseous phase under solid compounds of tetra-tertbutyl substituted phthalocyanines MPc(t-Bu)4 , with M = Cu(II), or
VO are presented. The vapour pressure of these phthalocyanines is
determined as a function of temperature by the Knudsen effusion
method, in which the rate of effusion of the equilibrium vapour
through a small orifice is measured. Such data are needed in order
to improve the operating conditions of the growth of thin films by
OMBD.
1000. The Clausing factor was considered for every Knudsen cell
according to the cell’s size parameters (0.3946, 0.4632, 0.6240 for
0.020, 0.025, 0.030 cm of orifice’s diameter, respectively) [22]. Powder samples of 2 mg measured with accuracy ±5 × 10−5 g were set
inside the cell. The temperature of the effusion cell was increased
by a step of 5–10 ◦ C and measured by a calibrated Pt/PtRh 10% thermocouple with absolute accuracy of ±2 ◦ C. The experimental error
of pressure measurements was 10%.
Thin films of CuPc(t-Bu)4 and VOPc(t-Bu)4 were obtained by
OMBD technique using the “VUP-5M” installation. The evaporation was carried out at a residual pressure of 10−5 Torr with
the deposition rate of 0.6 nm s−1 . The evaporation temperature of
phthalocyanines, chosen on the basis of temperature dependence
of saturated vapour pressure, was 420 ◦ C for CuPc(t-Bu)4 and 400 ◦ C
for VOPc(t-Bu)4 . Silicon and quartz plates were used as substrates
and were held at room temperature during film deposition.
UV–vis spectra of the solutions and films on quartz substrates
were recorded with a UV–vis–NIR scanning spectrophotometer
(UV–VIS-3101PC «Shimadzu») in the range from 400 to 900 nm.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of VOPc(t-Bu)4 films
were performed using of DRON-3M diffractometer with Cu K␣ irradiation.
2. Experimental details
3.1. Mass spectrometric studies of phthalocyanines
The 2,9,16,23-tetra-tert-butyl-phthalocyanine CuPc(t-Bu)4 was
purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. (ID number 423165, purity
>97%), and was purified by sublimation in vacuum gradient heater
at residual pressure of 5 × 10−5 Torr.
VOPc(t-Bu)4 was synthesized by heating a 4:1 mixture of
sublimed 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dinitrile (Aldrich) and V2 O5 powder to
220 ◦ C in a vacuum-sealed (10−4 Torr) glass tube. The tube was then
opened and the product was purified by gradient sublimation at
400 ◦ C under vacuum of about 5 × 10−5 Torr. The resulting purple
powder was identified as vanadyl tetra-tert-butyl-phthalocyanine
(Found: C, 71.69; N, 13.98; H, 5,87; Calc. C, 71.64; N, 13.93; H, 5,97).
The yield of the product after sublimation was 15%. Four peripherally substituted isomers of VOPc(t-Bu)4 molecules, which come
from two possible substituting locations of each tert-Bu group were
obtained during the synthesis. Separation of the isomers was not
carried out.
The composition of phthalocyanines vapour was investigated
by mass spectrometry technique in the temperature range up to
600 ◦ C. Mass spectra were obtained by means of MKH-1310 mass
spectrometers. The molecules effusing from the cell were ionized
by means of electrons of 35 eV energy. The evaporation temperature was increased by a step of 20–30 ◦ C. The entire spectrum
to 1000 mass units was recorded at each temperature. Weight of
investigated samples was about 2 × 10−3 g.
The vapour pressures of these phthalocyanines were determined as a function of temperature by the Knudsen effusion
method by means of MI-1201 mass spectrometer [21–23]. The
Knudsen cells of 0.70 cm inner diameter and depth were constructed from molybdenum and quartz. The diameters of the orifice
were 0.020, 0.025, 0.030 cm and the channel length was 0.020 cm.
The ratio of evaporation area to the area of the orifice was about
The mass spectra confirm the molecular formulas of phthalocyanines, because ions with appropriate parent molecular weights are
observed (CuPc(t-Bu)4 + (m/e = 800), and VOPc(t-Bu)4 + (m/e = 804)).
These ions are accompanied by the corresponding doubly charged
ions. The data of high thermal mass spectrometry show that tetratert-butyl substituted phthalocyanines sublime without thermal
decomposition until 600 ◦ C, as is also the case with other phthalocyanines [21,24].
The analysis of the mass spectra shows that the investigated
MPc(t-Bu)4 phthalocyanines sublime in the form of monomers. This
points to monomolecular sublimation process and comparatively
weak associative intermolecular interaction in the crystal phase.
These data play important role in the interpretation of results of
the measurement of temperature dependence of saturated vapour
pressure.
3. Results
3.2. Vapour pressure measurements
The vapour pressures of these phthalocyanines were determined as a function of temperature by the Knudsen effusion
method. The principle of this technique was extensively described
in the literature [23–27].
It is well known that the dependence of vapour pressure on
temperature is expressed by the Clapeiron–Clausius equation as
log P(atm) = −

where A = HT /R and B = So T /R [17–18] and HT is enthalpy, So T
is entropy of vaporization at the mean temperatures T, and R is
ideal gas constant. The results of vapour pressure measurement
are plotted in Fig. 1. Values of the constants A and B correspond-

ing to Eq. (1) as obtained from the least square fitting of measured
data in Fig. 1, together with the enthalpies and entropies of sublimation are presented in Table 1. The meanings of phthalocyanines’
vapour pressure are presented in Table 2. The obtained data are
entirely new, as references devoted to the investigation of thermal behaviour in the gaseous phase and vapour pressure data are
available only for a limited number of phthalocyanines [18–21,24].
It is interesting to compare MPc(t-Bu)4 vapour pressure with
the analogous results obtained early for the unsubstituted -CuPc
and VOPc [21,24]. These data are included in Fig. 1 for comparison. It is clearly shown that MPc(t-Bu)4 phthalocyanines exhibit
higher volatility than its unsubstituted analogues. Tert-butyl substitutes are very bulky; they can prevent coplanar –-interaction
between phthalocyanine molecules and have influence on crystalline polymorphic state of the metal phthalocyanine molecules.
Analysis of X-ray data of ZnPc(t-Bu)4 shows that four tert-butyl
groups have influence on the distance between the phthalocyanine
molecules within one stack and basic period [28]. This distance for
the -polymorph of ZnPc(t-Bu)4 (5.27 Å) [28] is larger than that for
the ZnPc (4.85 Å) [29].
The energy of intermolecular interaction is characterized by
the enthalpy of sublimation. CuPc(t-Bu)4 and VOPc(t-Bu)4 phthalocyanines have lower values of the enthalpy of sublimation in
comparison with their unsubstituted analogues (Table 1).
3.3. Investigation of the MPc(t-Bu)4 films
Comparison of intermolecular interactions in the unit cell of
solid phthalocyanines [30,31] can be made on the basis of analysis
of the electron absorption spectra using exciton model described
by Kasha et al. [32] for molecular crystals of aromatic compounds.
The films of CuPc(t-Bu)4 and VOPc(t-Bu)4 were both produced
at deposition rate of 0.6 nms−1 onto the substrates kept at room

temperature. This regime is very close to the conditions reported in
literature [33–35] for unsubstituted and fluorosubstituted copper
and vanadyl phthalocyanines.
Absorption spectra of CuPc(t-Bu)4 and VOPc(t-Bu)4 film on
quartz substrates are given in Figs. 2a and 3a, respectively. The
spectra of unsubstituted CuPc and VOPc are also included for
comparison (Figs. 2b and 3b). The spectrum of CuPc film before
annealing (dashed line) corresponds to the ␣-modification of copper phthalocyanine [36] (Fig. 2b). It was shown earlier that different
crystal structures were observed in CuPc films [36–38]. A transformation of the ␣-modification to the monoclinic structure (-phase)
takes place after annealing above 150 ◦ C (Fig. 2).
The absorption spectrum of CuPc(t-Bu)4 film deposited at the
same conditions gives a unique single peak at 622 nm for the
Q-band with a shoulder at 680 nm (Fig. 2a, dashed line) which coincides with the maximum of the Q-band in the solution spectrum
(Fig. 2a, solid line). This spectrum appears to correspond to the film
containing a mixture of crystalline and amorphous phases, which
is also confirmed by the data of X-ray phase analysis.
It is necessary to mention that in our investigations of phthalocyanines vapour pressure we always use thermodynamically stable
crystal modifications of phthalocyanines (-CuPc and II -VOPc)
because the phase transition was shown in Refs. [37,39] to proceed
during vapour pressure measurements. Stable crystal modifications may be obtained by sublimation of crude complexes in
vacuum [24]. The CuPc(t-Bu)4 and VOPc(t-Bu)4 powders were sublimed at similar experimental conditions. The crystal structure the
MPc(t-Bu)4 powders is similar to that of their films after annealing
because their XRD patterns and the absorption spectra are practically the same as in the case CuPcF16 and VOPcF16 films [21,33].

by the Knudsen effusion method. It was shown that these tetratert-butyl-phthalocyanines exhibit higher volatility than their
unsubstituted analogues. A difference in MPc and MPc(t-Bu)4
volatility appears to be explained by different intermolecular bonding in the solids. The bulky tert-butyl substituents prevent coplanar
–-interaction between phthalocyanine molecules, leading to the
weakening of intermolecular interaction.

Fig. 3. Optical absorption spectra of vanadyl(IV)tetra-tert-butyl-phthalocyanine
VOPc(t-Bu)4 (a) and vanadyl(IV)phthalocyanine VOPc (b) solutions (solid lines),
films on quartz substrate before (dashed lines) and films after annealing in vacuum
at 220 ◦ C for 5 h (dotted lines).
The absorption spectrum of the CuPc(t-Bu)4 film annealed at
220 ◦ C for 5 h in vacuum (∼10−4 Torr) is presented in Fig. 2a (dotted
line). The spectrum of annealed CuPc(t-Bu)4 film exhibits characteristic splitting of Q-band on two separated peaks (Qx and Qy are
at 657 and 707 nm, respectively) which is known as Davydov splitting [40]. Following the model of Kasha et al. [32] the larger splitting
energy points towards a quite stronger interaction between adjacent molecules in the unit cell of the molecular crystal. In the film of
-modification of CuPc film we observe higher value of the Q-band
splitting (659 and 745 nm). This fact allows us to suppose that CuPc have stronger interaction between adjacent molecules in the
unit cell in comparison to tetra-tert-butyl copper phthalocyanine.
The absorption spectrum of VOPc(t-Bu)4 film deposited on
quartz substrate gives two peaks at 654 and 706 nm for the Q-band
with a wide shoulder at about 780 nm (Fig. 3a, dashed line). After
annealing of this film in vacuum (∼10−4 Torr) at 220 ◦ C for 5 h we
observed some changing in spectrum view. The band in the absorption spectrum (Fig. 3a, dotted line) becomes narrower with Qx and
Qy components at 658 and 702 nm, respectively, and the intensity
of shoulder at 780 nm decreases significantly.
The value of splitting of the Q-band is much higher in the spectrum of the unsubstituted VOPc film after annealing at the same
conditions (Qx and Qy components are at 664 and 813 nm, respectively), this fact is the evidence of weaker interactions between the
molecules in the unit cell and of increasing volatility of tetra-tertbutyl vanadyl phthalocyanine in comparison to the unsubstituted
vanadyl phthalocyanine.
