Abstract

Polymer films doped by different porphyrins, obtained by crystallization from the acetone solutions, differ in absorption and fluorescence spectra, which we attribute to the differences in the structuring and composition of the rotational isomers in the polymer chains. According to the infrared spectroscopy data, the crystallization of the films doped with tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) proceeds in a mixture of α- and γ-phases with TGTG and T3GT3G conformations, respectively. Three bonds in the planar zigzag conformation ensures the contact of such segments with the active groups of the porphyrin macrocycle, significantly changing its electronic state. Structuring of the films in the presence of TPP leads to an increase in the low-voltage AC-conductivity and the registration of an intense Maxwell-Wagner polarization. An increased conductivity by an order of magnitude in TPP-doped films was also observed at high-voltage polarization. The introduction of TPP during the film formation promotes the displacement of the chemical attachment defects of “head-to-head” type in the monomeric units into the surface. This process is accompanied by a significant increase in the film surface roughness, which was registered by piezo-force microscopy. The latter method also revealed the appearance of hysteresis phenomena during the local piezoelectric coefficient d33 measurements.
