The possible chemical structure and electronic characteristics of MnPcCl dye were analyzed using the density functional theory-based quantum calculations. The X-ray diffraction of various gamma-ray doses confirmed the amorphous nature of MnPcCl.

A slight non-linear reduction was observed in the optical bandgap energy, refractive index, and dielectric constant with rising γ-irradiation doses. The reduction in these optical parameters was due to the increase in the defects and the disorder degree created by γ-irradiation. The low effect on the optical parameters of MnPcCl films confirms its optical stability within this high range of γ-irradiation doses.
