Abstract

Inelastic electron tunnelling spectra of a tetra(octadecylaminosulphanyl)vanadyl phthalocyanine (VOPhc) monolayer, obtained by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, sandwiched in a conventional Al-Al2O3-VOPhc-Pb tunnel junction were studied at 4.2 K. In the vibronic spectral range the excitation of the C-H stretching mode at 373 meV (3006 cm-1) of the aliphatic chains dominates, whereas in the electronic excitation region the metal-ligand transition at 0.7 eV and S0→T1* and S0→S1* transitions at hν = 1.15 and 1.7 eV, respectively, were observed.
