Abstract
Thin films of tin phthalocyanine dichloride, SnPcCl2, of different thicknesses were prepared by thermal evaporation
technique in a high vacuum system. The molecular structure of SnPcCl2 thin films was confirmed by the analysis of (FTIR)
spectra. The crystal structure of SnPcCl2 was determined. Careful evaluation of X-ray data for the powder of SnPcCl2
demonstrated a monoclinic unit cell with a = 20.816 Å, b = 9.487 Å, c = 14.142 Å and β = 97.9°. The film morphology was
characterized by TEM and SEM. The effect of heat-treatment on the morphological characterization for SnPcCl2 thin films
was studied.
