Different types of ordered solid films of oxotitanium(IV) phthalocyanine (OTiPc) were grownin 50-500 nm thickness by vacuum deposition onto such conventional substrates as metal-and ITO-coated glass and neat glass at a rate of ~0.05 nm s
-1. Under 10
-3-10
-4 Pa isotropicfilms with short-range molecular organization and preferential molecular orientation weregrown on the substrates kept at ~25
C but ordered
(phase II) or
(phase I) crystal filmson the substrates heated at 150
C. The deposition onto surface-oxidized Al, Ti, and Cu/glass, ITO/glass, and neat glass at ~25 or 150
C selectively gave ordered isotropic or
-crystalfilms which have preferential molecular alignments with "standing" orientations of themolecular plane with respect to the substrate surface. On the other hand, another type ofordered isotropic or
-crystal films with preferential "lying" molecular orientations was formedby the deposition onto Au, Ag, and unoxidized Cu on glass at ~25 or 150
C. In the case of150
C-heated Pt/glass, the
-crystal film with "standing" molecular orientations was grownunder 10
-3-10
-4 Pa, but another type of
-crystal film with "lying" orientations under 2.7× 10
-5 Pa. Scanning electron microscopic observations of the ordered crystalline filmsindicated that single-crystal-like domains are grown from the bottom to the top of the filmand are densely
packed to give monolithic morphologies with little grain boundary. Visible-near-IR absorption and fluorescence spectra of the ordered solid films were recorded, showingunique dependences on the molecular alignments involving anisotropic behavior in thepolarized absorption spectra of the
-crystal films with different molecular alignments.
