Abstract

The results of studies of thin composite films of zinc and copper tetraphenylporphyrins with different fractions of fullerene C60 are reported. The photoluminescence spectra are recorded, and the composition and surface morphology are analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy. The results show a difference in the structure of films with two types of metals (Zn, Cu) entering into the complex of the porphyrin macrocycle. An additional long-wavelength photoluminescence band at 1.4 eV is detected for the first time, which is evidence of the formation of ZnTPP–C60 molecular complexes from a gas-dynamic vapor flow upon condensation. In CuTPP thin films, the processes of self-assembly into nanowires 20 nm in diameter and up to 50 µm in length and the formation of nanoheterojunctions upon the addition of fullerene C60 are observed. Quantum-chemical calculations in the context of density-functional theory are carried out to interpret the experimental data.
