Low-molecular materials for organic electronics and photonics
Češka, Matěj ; Salyk, Ota (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with organic materials for use in electronics and photonics. Attention was paid to low molecular weight materials. The theoretical part of this thesis contains brief introduction to organic electronics and photonics. In particular, organic transistors, organic solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes are mentioned. The experimental part is focused on study of electrical and optical properties of two types of phthalocyanines. Thin films and solutions of phthalocyanines were characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Thin films were also characterized by current voltage characteristics, spectral response measurement of photocurrent and by method of transient photoconductivity. It was found that illumination affects the electrical properties of thin layers of phthalocyanines, the performance of the prepared thin films depends on the type phthalocyanine and also depends on the thickness of the layer.

Study of electrical and dielectric properties of thin polymer films
Miklíková, Zdeňka ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the study of electric and dielectric properties of thin-film organic materials that can be used as an active layer of photovoltaic cells. Primarily were studied the properties of the layers on the glass substrate, which consist of a thin active layer of mixture ZnPc/PCBM with Al or Au contact. On the selected samples were first measured current-voltage characteristics in the dark and during the exposure then on the selected samples were measured frequency dependences (impedance spectra) in the dark and finally on the selected samples were measured relaxation characteristics (transient response analysis – current dependences on time at constant voltage) in the dark. The measured data for transient measurement were evaluated using the methods of fractal analysis in HarFA. The results will be used to optimize the properties of photovoltaic cells.

Preparation of fluorescent phthalocyanines for labeling of oligonucleotide probes IV.
Mikula, Daniel ; Miletín, Miroslav (advisor) ; Zitko, Jan (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis Candidate Daniel Mikula Supervisor doc. PharmDr. Miroslav Miletín, Ph.D. Consultant Mgr. Michaela Kolářová Title of thesis Preparation of fluorescent phthalocyanines for labeling of oligonucleotide probes IV. Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are macrocyclic compounds with a conjugated system of double bonds. Thanks to this, they have interesting photophysical and photochemical properties that enable their practical use in pharmacy and medicine in the field of diagnostics or treatment of cancer diseases. This work deals with the preparation of axially disubstituted silicon complexes of phthalocyanines (SiPcs), which would have suitable properties for subsequent use in the labeling of oligonucleotide probes. The theoretical part is primarily devoted to the methods of Pcs preparation, from the choice of precursors, through the formation of the macrocycle and insertion of the central atom, to the modifications of the resulting molecule, including the specifics related to SiPcs. The basic properties of Pcs and the degree of influence of different changes of the molecule on these properties are also described. The basic areas of use of Pcs are also mentioned.

STM study of adsorption and mobility of phtalocyanine molecules on passivated silicon surfaces at lower temperatures
Szabo, Michal ; Ošťádal, Ivan (advisor) ; Matvija, Peter (referee)
The thesis deals with an experiment for studying adsorption of phthalocyanin molecules on silicon surface passivated by a tin reconstruction. The main technique used for imaging surface is scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The work contains a brief introduction to the studied problem. It deals with the STM method and STM construction. The used ultra-vacuum experimental system is characterized together with particular steps at sample preparation for STM measurements. During the sample preparation all necessary operations were tested on the newly modified system and calibration measurements of sample annealing and tin deposition were performed. A structure of the prepared surface Si(111) 7×7 was investigated by STM and conditions for the preparation in the new system were specified. STM images were used for an evaluation of results at optimizing preparation of the passivated surface. Obtained results are important for further experiments in frame of a research focused on growing molecular structures on silicon surfaces.

Preparation and photophysical evaluation of tetra-3,4-pyridoporphyrazines suitable for the photodynamic therapy
Čermák, Pavel ; Nováková, Veronika (advisor) ; Roh, Jaroslav (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department: Department of Biophysics and Physical Chemistry Candidate: Pavel Cermak Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Veronika Novakova, PhD. Title of Thesis: Preparation and photophysical evaluation of tetra-3,4- pyridoporphyrazines suitable for the photodynamic therapy Tetra-3,4-pyridoporphyrazines (TPyPz) are aza-analogues of phthalocyanines. Their large system of conjugated bonds enables them to absorb light in the red part of the absorption spectrum. Due to their ability to produce singlet oxygen, they can be potentially used as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Its mechanism is based on co-functioning of three elements - photosensitizer, light and oxygen. Photosensitizer excited by light absorption transfers its energy into tissue oxygen, thus, creating cytotoxic singlet oxygen. This method is beneficial for its high selectivity, low toxicity, minimal invasion and fast effect. The aim of this work was to synthetize and study water-soluble TPyPz suitable for PDT. Water solubility was achieved by quarternized amines, forming of salts or using suitable delivery systems (hydrophilic emulsion). Hydrophilicity was also increased by introduction of hydrophilic non-charged substituents (OH). At first, appropriate precursors for...

Optimalization of methods for determination of singlet oxygen production and fluorescence emission of azaphthalocyanine derivatives
Hrubá, Lenka ; Nováková, Veronika (advisor) ; Kubíček, Vladimír (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department: Department of Biophysics and Physical Chemistry Candidate: Lenka Hrubá Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Veronika Nováková, Ph.D. Title of Thesis: Optimization of methods for determination of singlet oxygen production and fluorescence emission of azaphthalocyanine derivatives Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with a singlet oxygen as an essential agent is believed to be an alternative way of cancer treatment or treatment of some cutaneous diseases. The principle of PDT is based on excitation of a photosensitizer by light absorption, followed by transfer of energy to tissue oxygen (3 O2) forming cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1 O2). The efficiency by which photosensitizer transforms absorbed energy to singlet oxygen is characterized by singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ). The aim of this thesis was to develop and optimize absolute method for determination of ΦΔ. In comparison to a relative method, no reference is needed in this case, which enables accurate results with lower error. Verification of the new method was performed in N,N- dimethylformamide with a zinc phthalocyanine as a model photosensitizer because of its well-known ΦΔ and with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran as a chemical quencher of 1 O2. Different sources of light for excitation...
