Other common techniques have been applied to the assembly of layers or films of TTF-derived molecular conductors. Compound 29 is an example of an amphiphilic TTF derivative. It forms conducting Langmuir-Blodgett charge transfer films with the acceptor TCNQF4 (30).98 Self-assembly of compound 31 on gold by electrochemical methods yielded an electroactive monolayer which was remarkably stable to electrochemical cycling.99...

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique has been also used for the preparation of Pc-based OFET, as it allows the fine control of both the structure and the thickness of the film at the molecular level [226,227], OFET devices based on amphiphilic tris(phthalocyaninato) rare earth, triple-decker complexes have been prepared by LB technique, showing good OFET performances [228], More recently, ambipolar transport has also been realized in OFET devices through a combination of holeconducting CuPc and n-conducting Cgo fullerene, in which the asymmetry of the... 

Because of their electrical, optical, and redox properties as well as the thermal and chemical stability, the Pcs also have been tried in the detection of volatile organic compounds and poisonous gases, which is very important for environment and human health. In the past decades, the possible applications of Pc thin film as sensor for atmospheric gaseous pollutants have been extensively studied [73, 74], Langmuir-Blodgett films of some multinuclear and multidouble-decker lutetium Pcs have also been used for those measurements [75,76], More details about conductivity and sensing properties of Pcs can be found elsewhere [77,78].
