摘要

We have performed several experiments and molecular dynamics calculations to investigate a phase transition of titanylphthalocyanine phase Y crystal and the behavior of water molecules in the crystal. We have shown that water is in the crystal as well as on its surface and the humidity dependence of the photosensitivity of the phase Y is due to the water on the surface. We propose a mechanism for the phase transition from the metastable phase Y to a stable phase I as follows. Water molecules on the surface detach as the crystal is heated to 100째C. At about 250째C water molecules in the crystal begin to jump from one space to another through channels connecting the spaces and as a result are expelled from the crystal. After the water molecules leave the spaces, the phase transition to phase I occurs by molecular rearrangement to shrink these spaces.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
