Dichlorotin phthalocyanine

Matsushita Electric Industry has investigated evaporation techniques for films of such sublimable phthalocyanine compounds as dichlorotin phthalocyanine and dichlorosilicon phthalocyanine for the recording layer of DVD-R . Using evaporation films of 100 nm thickness, they achieved a reflectance of 60 % at 650 nm, and an llT-signal output of 0.4 in the ratio to output of commercially available CD. 

At present, in the development of nonlinear optical devices, although semiconductor quantum structure devices are still predominant, devices with phthalocya-nine compounds are gaining significant ground. Hitachi have fabricated aU optical switching devices using evaporated films of dichlorotin phthalocyanine, and confirmed their utility [22].
