Abstract: A novel synthesis
method for direct preparing b-form crystals of
nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) is
presented in this article. Using
quinoline as a solvent, crystals are obtained after cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature
in autoclave. These high quality crystals are suitable for characterization measurements. The molecular formula of NiPc is belonging
to monoclinic system, space group is unit
cell parameters: cell volume is Needle-like single crystals of NiPc
up to
10.3 mm
in length are obtained. The influences of the different temperatures,
times and solvent volumes on
the crystal yieldsare
also discussed. This method is called solvothermal synthesismethod.
Keywords and phrases: solvothermal synthesis, single crystal, NiPc, quinoline.
