Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • 2D polymers show a big promise for science and technology. • We develop a new procedure for the direct synthesis of copper polyphthalocyanine. • We obtain reliable experimental data on the CuPPC structure. • With the support of quantum chemical calculations we describe electronic structure of CuPPC. - Abstract: Copper polyphthalocyanine (CuPPC), a 2D conjugated polymer, is a promising material for electronics and photovoltaics, but its applications were hindered by a poor processability. We propose an experimental approach, by which thin films of CuPPC, can be directly synthesized in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) set-up at mild temperature (420 °C). High polymerization degree and high crystallinity of the films were confirmed by TEM, FTIR and UV–vis studies. From XRD and TEM electron diffraction, we conclude that the polymer has AA layer stacking with the inter-layer distance of 0.32 nm. The assignment of X-ray and TEM diffraction patterns was based on quantum-chemical calculations. Based on the latter, we also discuss electronic structure and conclude that CuPPC is rather a semi-metal than semi-conductor.
