Nano-cratered TiO2 thin films are amino-functionalized with H2N(CH2)2PO4H2.
Iron(II) α-octabutoxyphthalocyanine can have two n-butyl amines as axial ligands.
Fe(OBu)8Pc complex is deposited on amino-functionalized TiO2 thin films.
Deposition from THF solution gives a monolayer of Fe(OBu)8Pc on TiO2.
