      Electrodeposited Thin Films.

AB  - The supramolecular arrangement in thin film technology has been explored through 
      different deposition techniques aiming to control the film properties at the 
      molecular level. We report on the formation of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) films 
      using both Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) and electrodeposition methods. The multilayer 
      formation was monitored with ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) 
      and electrochemical measurements. According to Raman spectroscopy, atomic force 
      microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the surface morphology 
      of electrodeposited films is more homogeneous than LS films at micro and 
      nanometer scales. From FTIR spectroscopy, the FePc molecules in the 
      electrodeposited films are oriented preferentially with the macrocycle parallel 
      to the substrate surface (flat-on), while a slight tilt is suggested in LS films, 
      being both films crystalline. Therefore, the use of different deposition 
      techniques allowed the fabrication of thin films from FePc with distinct 
      supramolecular arrangements, leading to distinct electrochemical properties. For 
      instance, the electrodeposited films show higher surface coverage, suggesting a 
      more compact structure, which favors the charge transfer and smaller energy gap. 
      The possibility of tuning some properties according to deposition technique for 
      the same material can help the development of technological applications such as 
      electronic or sensing devices.
