    Notes: Abstract As a direct comparison to all-solid state photovoltaic cells, photoelectrochemical cells consisting of n-type N,N′-dimethyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide (MePTCDI) and p-type phthalocyaninatozinc(ii) (PcZn) thin film electrodes vapour-deposited onto ITO have been investigated in aqueous ferri/ferrocyanide, p-benzoquinone/hydroquinone or I3−/I− electrolytes. The ferri/ferrocyanide cell has been studied in more detail, and the results are discussed with regard to the HOMO-, LUMO- and Fermi-energies of the materials used. A setup of the electrodes in a tandem cell could increase the efficiency of the cell due to improved light harvesting. Saturation of the photocurrent with increasing ferri/ferrocyanide electrolyte concentration at single PcZn or MePTCDI electrodes is discussed using a model of reactant adsorption prior to the charge transfer step. In addition, a decrease observed for the open-circuit voltage of the entire cell with increasing ferri/ferrocyanide concentration leads to an optimum concentration of 10−3 moldm−3.

    Notes: By changing the chemical composition of phthalocyanine molecules, the electrical properties of the ensemble in the solid state can be influenced directly. This is shown for phthalocyaninatomanganese (PcMn) as compared with purely divalent central metals and for complexes in which the ligand system has been modified by either electron-withdrawing heteroatoms such as N instead of CH leading to tetrapyridotetraazaporphyrinatozinc (TPyTAPZn) or substituents such as F instead of H leading to hexadecafluorophthalocyaninatozinc (F16PcZn). The accessibility of additional oxidation states of Mn or the stabilisation of frontier orbital states by the ligand leads to a lower ionisation potential and interactions with impurities or dopant molecules are changed. A change in the observed majority carrier (n-type behaviour) is seen even under UHV conditions. Measurements of the thermoelectric power and electrical conductivity are presented of the pure films and after exposure to oxidising ambient. During film growth either island growth or a growth following the Stranski-Krastanov mechanism was observed. The comparison of the temperature dependence of thermopower and electrical conductivity leads to a discussion of the type of majority carriers, their generation as well as their transportation. For the materials investigated in this study the band model fails to explain the observed properties and a localised transport mechanism has to be considered. A transport in localised states close to the Fermi edge is discussed for TPyTAPZn and F16PcZn.
