A sublimation apparatus in which a high temperature slightly lower than the sublimation point of copperphthalocyanine remains constant over a long condensation region has been developed. A sufficiently pure material for electrophotographic measurements can be obtained only when this high temperature is maintained nearly constant over the long condensation region along the sublimation tube. After the thired sublimation, the value of copper contents in the sample is 11.03 · 0.02%, according to the chelatometric titrations, while the theoreitcal value of stoichimetric composition is 11.03%. Emission spectrochemical analysis shows that only traces of Si and Mg are found in the sample after the sixth sublimation. Single crystal srown in the sublimation tube are characterized and the growth mechanism is discussed.
