We have studied the photoconducting properties of films of ferrocene-containing oligomer with additives of squarylium and merocyanine dyes based on ferrocene and tetranitrofluorene in the dye absorption region. We have studied the characteristic features of the effect of an external magnetic field on the photocurrents. After the magnetic field is turned on, the photocurrent increases in the samples with squarylium dye and decreases in the samples with merocyanine dye. We discuss the hypothesis that in the first case, as a result of an internal photoelectric effect, predominantly triplet charge pairs are formed, while in the second case predominantly singlet charge pairs are formed. The latter may be one of the reasons for the higher photoconductivity of films with squarylium dye compared with merocyanine dye.
