ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews literature results of photogeneration in a series of phthalocyanines, polyarylenes, polymers, and other materials of interest. The molecular structures of many of these materials are included in Appendix 2. Theories proposed to describe these phenomena have been reviewed in Chap. 5. For a more detailed discussion of photogeneration in organic solids, see Silinsh (1980), Pope and Swenberg (1982, 1984), Samoc (1984), Simon et al. (1985), Mort and Pai (1987), Pope (1989), Sworakowski and Nespûrek (1989), Nespürek et al. (1991), and Silinsh and Inokuchi (1991).
