Abstract

We carried out laser ablation of three organic molecules, rubrene (Rb), Oralith Brilliant Pink R (BP) and quinacridonequinone (QQ) in a poor solvent, water. As a result, nanoparticles of BP and QQ were formed, but those of Rb were not formed because of photodissociation. For a rigid molecule, QQ, optical properties of colloidal solutions were investigated in relation to the size of the included nanoparticles. A linear correlation between the blue shift of the absorption peak energy and the decrease in the diameter of the nanoparticles was found, indicating that the nanoparticle diameter can be easily estimated from the absorption spectrum of a colloidal solution. From the solution, a nanoparticle film was fabricated on an electrode by the electrophoretic deposition method.
