The linear optical constants of thin phthalocyanine and fullerite films from the near infrared up to the UV spectral regions: Estimation of electronic oscillator strength values

Abstract
We present data on the optical constants of thin molecular films formed from phthalocyanines and fullerenes obtained by means of thin film spectrophotometry. On the basis of the optical constants, the oscillator strength values for the relevant electronic transitions could be calculated. For phthalocyanines, our data agree well with Henriksson and co-workers' theoretical predictions.
