Article Description

An efficient preparation of nanosized charge-transfer (CT) salts of metal phthalocyanine iodides has been achieved by direct reaction of metal phthalocyanine-silica hybrid nanoparticles with iodine. The direct reaction was enabled by the enhanced reactivity of the nanoparticles, which possess enlarged surface areas. TEM observation revealed that the [MPc]I salts thus formed separate from the shell layers of the nanoparticles during the reaction to form rod-shaped nanostructures of hundreds of nanometres in length and about 30 nm in diameter. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
