Synthesis of transparent and ordered mesoporous silica monolithic films embedded with monomeric zinc phthalocyanine dye.
Monolithic transparent mesoporous silica films embedded with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) have been synthesized and it is shown that the encapsulated ZnPc dye molecules exist predominantly in monomeric form.
