Phthalocyanines as organic ionic and electronic conductors are of great interest for the application in electrochromic devices. An influence of the degree of fluorination in copper phthalocyanines on the intermolecular coupling in the solid state and, thus, on the rate of electron and ion transport was observed: For F16PcCu the transport of electrons was faster than the diffusion of ions as opposed to F64PcCu. In this work, thin films of a new type of fluorinated phthalocyanine (F40PcCu) were prepared by physical vapor deposition. The dependence of the intermolecular coupling on the film thickness was analyzed by in situ UV/Vis spectroscopy. The electrochromic characteristics were studied by electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical measurements with an aqueous solution of KCl as electrolyte. The films provided a well-balanced, equally fast transport of electrons and ions. The optical absorption spectra revealed reversible changes of the films upon reduction with intercalation of the K+ counterions and re-oxidation with extraction of the counterions. Fast and stable electrochromic switching of the films was achieved over at least 200 cycles. For a 1:1 mixed film of F16PcCu and F64PcCu a similar situation could be achieved.
