Variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy study on copper phthalocyanine ultrathin films on a Au(111) surface

Self-assembled monolayers and electropolymerized thin films of phthalocyanines as molecular materials for electroanalysis

In this review, we report on the newly developed area of research devoted to the formation of self-assembled monolayers of metallophthalocyanines by focusing on some significant examples dedicated to electroanalytical applications. We also summarize recent examples on the use of electropolymerized metallophthalocyanine films in electroanalysis. In both cases, activation and detection of thiols are the main targeted applications.
