Annotation

Frequency dependences are obtained of the conductivity in Langmuir films of modified vanadyl phthalocyanine in vacuum and under the conditions of adsorption of donor and acceptor molecules. It is found that, upon the adsorption of NO$_2$ and CH$_4$O molecules, the film conductivity at $f<10$ kHz increases by several orders of magnitude. It is shown that, in vacuum and upon adsorption of acceptor molecules, the dominant charge transfer mechanism is the hopping of holes via localized states. In the case of adsorption of donor molecules, the ionic conductivity mechanism appears to prevail.
