Abstract: To design efficient thin-film materials for low cost organic nanoelectronic devices, the Langmuir floating layer structure of the mesogenic 1,4,8,11,15,18-hexaoctyloxy-22,23,24,25-tetrachlorophthalocyanine (A₃B-type) was characterized by Brewster angle microscopy, grazing incidence diffraction, and reflectometry. Starting from the area per one molecule of 7.6nm², a single two-dimensional ordered structure with the period of 2.3nm was formed. When the area reaches the value of 2.5 nm², a stable bilayer structure with imperceptible number of 3D aggregates was detected, in which each monolayer preserved organization of the preceding monolayer.

Keywords: mix-substituted phthalocyanine, floating layers, structure, Brewster angle microscopy, grazing incidence diffraction, X-ray reflectivity.
