The phase transition of organosilane monolayers on Si-wafer substrate surfaces prepared from octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) or docosyltrichlorosilane (DOTS) was investigated on the basis of grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) at various temperatures. The OTS monolayer was prepared by a chemisorption method. The DOTS monolayer was prepared by a water-cast method (DOTS). The GIXD measurement clarified that the OTS monolayer also changed from hexagonal phase to amorphous state above a melting point of otadecyl groups. The GIXD measurements also clarified that the molecular aggregation state of the DOTS monolayer changes from an anisotropic phase to an isotropic phase with an increase in temperature. An estimated linear thermal expansion coefficient of the lattice lengths of a and b of the DOTS monolayer in the rectangular crystalline state assigned a similar value to those of bulk polyethylene with an orthorhombic crystalline lattice. The setting angle of the ab plane of the rectangular DOTS monolayer also showed similar behavior to that of the ab plane of bulk polyethylene.  相似文献

(Alkylsilane/fluoroalkylsilane) mixed monolayers were immobilized covalently on a silicon wafer surface with stable surface structure. Atomic force microscopic observation of the n-octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)/[2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl]trichlorosilane (FOETS) mixed monolayer revealed that the crystalline OTS circular domains of ca. 1–2μm in diameter were surrounded by a sealike amorphous FOETS matrix, even though the molar fraction of OTS was above 75%. Also, the phaseseparated monolayer can be prepared from FOETS, and a non-polymerizable and crystallizable amphiphile such as lignoceric acid (LA). The phase separation of the (alkylsilane/fluoroalkylsilane) mixed monolayer might be attributed to both faster spreading of FOETS molecules on the water surface and the crystallizable characteristics of alkylsilane molecules. The mixed monolayer of crystalline alkylsilane (OTS) and amorphous alkylsilane (n-dodecyltrichlorosilane, DDTS) formed a phase-separated structure on the water surface because of the crystallizable characteristics of OTS. Lateral force microscopic (LFM) observation revealed that the order of the magnitude of lateral force generated against the silicon nitride tip was: n-triacontyltrichlorosilane (TATS) domain with longer alkyl chain > amorphous FOETS matrix > crystalline OTS domain. On the other hand, scanning viscoelasticity microscopic observation revealed that the order of the magnitude of modulus was: Si substrate > crystalline OTS domain > amorphous FOETS matrix.  相似文献

Lupane-type pentacyclic triterpenes (lupeol, betulin, and betulinic acid) are natural products isolated from various plant sources. The terpenes exhibit a vast spectrum of biological activity and are applied in therapies for different diseases, among which the anticancer, anti-HIV, antihypercholesteremic, and antiinflammatory are the most promising. These chemicals possess amphiphilic structure and were proved to interact strongly with biomembranes, which can be the key stage in their mechanism of action. In our studies, we applied Langmuir monolayers as versatile models of biomembranes. It turned out that the three investigated terpenes are capable of stable monolayer formation; however, these monolayers differ profoundly regarding their physicochemical characteristics. In our research, we applied the Langmuir technique (surface pressure-mean molecular area (π-A) isotherm registration) coupled with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), but the main focus was on the synchrotron radiation scattering method, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD), which provides information on the amphiphilic molecule ordering in the angstr?m scale. It was proved that all the investigated terpenes form crystalline phases in their monolayers. In the case of lupeol, only the closely packed upright phase was observed, whereas for betulin and betulinic acid, the phase situation was more complex. Betulinic acid molecules can be organized in an upright phase, which is crystalline, and in a tilted phase, which is amorphous. The betulin film is a conglomerate of an upright crystalline monolayer phase, tilted amorphous monolayer phase, and a crystalline tilted bilayer. In our paper, we discuss the factors leading to the formation of the observed phases and the implications of our results to the therapeutic applications of the native lupane-type triterpenes.  相似文献

Illustrating direct connections between surface chemical events and mechanical and topological characteristics of self-assembled monolayers derived from octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) adsorption on Si(100), layers prepared in the presence and absence of moisture have been characterized. Uniform and robust self-assembled monolayers are demonstrated provided the Si(100) surface is fully hydroxylated by treatment in piranha solution and the dried surface is exposed to OTS under strict anhydrous conditions. With nanoscale resolution, the uniform mechanical properties are confirmed by interfacial force microscopy while the uniform topological properties are evident in atomic force microscopy images. The monolayer character of the OTS coverage is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and patterning experiments. Analogous surfaces, prepared in the presence of moisture, exhibit nonuniform topological and mechanical properties.  相似文献

The n‐octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS, CH3(CH2)17SiCl3), 18‐nonadecenyltrichlorosilane (NTS, CH2=CH(CH2)17SiCl3), [2‐(perfluorooctyl)ethyl] trichlorosilane (FOETS, CF3(CF2)7CH2CH2SiCl3) monolayers, and their mixed monolayers were used as the model substrates for the study of protein adsorption mechanism. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy was applied to analyze the protein adsorption behavior onto the surface of the monolayers. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to observe the monolayer surfaces after exposure of these monolayers to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and γ‐globulin(IgG) solution. AFM observation revealed that the charged protein either below or above the isoelectric point was preferentially adsorbed onto the FOETS phase of the (OTS/FOETS) mixed monolayer. SPR revealed that the amount of adsorbed protein in the charged state was lower than that in the neutral state. These results indicate that the preferential adsorption of protein onto the FOETS phase for the mixed monolayer systems at either below or above pI is due to (1) the minimization of interfacial free energy between the monolayer surface and the buffer solution, and (2) the electrostatic repulsion among protein molecules bearing charges.  相似文献

Alkyl organic monolayers with different alkyl molecular chain lengths directly attached to silicon were prepared at 160 degrees C from 1-decene (C10), 1-dodecene (C12), 1-tetradecene (C14), 1-hexadecene (C16), and 1-octadecene (C18). These monolayers were characterized on the basis of water contact angle measurement, ellipsometry, X-ray reflectivity (XR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) to elucidate the effect of the molecular chain length on the molecular arrangement and packing density of the monolayers. Water contact angle and XPS measurements showed that C12, C14, and C16 monolayers have a comparably higher quality, while the quality of C10 and C18 monolayers is worse. GIXD revealed that the alkyl monolayers directly attached to the Si were all amorphously structured regardless of their alkyl chain length. The amorphous structure of the alkyl monolayers could be attributed to the rigid Si-C bonding, low quality of hydrogen-terminated silicon substrate, and/or low mobility of physisorbed molecules.  相似文献

Monolayers of amphiphilic melamine derivatives are good candidates for the formation of supramolecular structures by hydrogen-bonding of nonsurface active species dissolved in the aqueous subphase by molecular recognition. In the present work, the thermodynamic and structural properties of the Langmuir monolayers of a homologous series of a selected amphiphilic melamine-type are characterized. Good candidates for such studies are the decyl, undecyl, and dodecyl homologues of the 2,4-di(n-alkylamino)-6-amino-1,3,5-triazine (2CnH(2n+1)-melamine) monolayers because of their two-phase coexistence region in the accessible temperature range. The characterization of the structural and phase behavior is performed by a combination of surface pressure studies with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) imaging and Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements. A comprehensive thermodynamic analysis provides good agreement between the experimental surface pressure - area (Pi-A) isotherms and the theoretical curves that were calculated on the basis of equations of state for a large region of monolayer stages developed by us in J. Phys. Chem. 1999, 103, 145. Theoretical curves calculated by application of equations of state only for the fluid monolayer state proposed recently by Rusanov (J. Chem Phys. 2004, 120, 10736) are in good agreement with the experiments in a limited temperature range. A rigorous equation is derived and applied to the experimental results for the calculation of the enthalpy of two-dimensional phase transition. The combination of BAM and GIXD illustrates that the microscopic long range ordering of the condensed monolayer phases is related to the lattice structure of the condensed monolayer.  相似文献

Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are employed to probe the surface potential and topography of octadecyltrichlorosilane [OTS, CH3(CH2)17SiCl3] self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on oxidized Si(100) and polycrystalline silicon surfaces as a function of deposition temperature and substrate roughness with particular attention paid to the monitoring of SAM adsorption on highly rough surfaces. In these studies, it is found that the surface potential magnitude of the adsorbed layer is larger for monolayers formed in the liquid-condensed (LC) phase than for those formed in the liquid-expanded (LE) phase. Experiments on individual islands in the LC phase show that surface potential and monolayer thickness increase with increasing island size; islands larger than about 1.5 microm reach maximum potential and height values of 48+/-4 mV and 2.7+/-0.1 nm, with respect to the underlying oxidized surface. It is also shown that KPFM is suitable for the study of monolayer adsorption on polycrystalline surfaces, for which preexisting surface texture makes the use of traditional scanning probe techniques for molecular recognition difficult. In these scenarios it is shown that OTS growth occurs preferentially along grain boundaries in fingerlike patterns having a molecular arrangement comparable to that of LC phase islands on atomically smooth silicon. These findings indicate that surface potential measurements provide a highly accurate, local means of probing monolayer morphology on rough surfaces encountered in many applications.  相似文献

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), a molecular-level assembly that forms spontaneously, provide a vehicle for investigating specific interactions at interfaces. This is particularly true for mixed SAMs that are composed of organosilanes with different chain lengths and/or chemical functionalities because they offer an adjustable surface for constructing 3D structures containing a variety of moieties. We recently observed that coadsorbed monolayers with different organosilanes on a Si wafer were separated into several tens or hundreds of nanometer domains that were rich in individual components. Several organosilanes, such as octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS), (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), and (3-aminopropryl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS), were used for regional separation. In this study, we propose a stepwise deposition method, namely, the deposition of a second siliane on a SAM substrate that creates intentional defects in the first silane. The surface morphologies were adjusted by the deposition sequence and immersion time of the silanes. As a result, a mixed SAM prepared by the proposed method showed effectively functionalized films compared to that prepared by the one-step method.  相似文献

The main characteristics of Langmuir monolayers are radically changed by molecular recognition of hydrogen bond nonsurface-active species. The change in the thermodynamic, phase, and structural features by molecular recognition of dissolved uracil or barbituric acid by 2,4-di(n-undecylamino)-6-amino-1,3,5-triazine (2C11H23-melamine) monolayers is characterized by combination of surface pressure studies with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) imaging and Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements. Phase behavior of the 2C11H23-melamine monolayer and morphology of the condensed phase domains are changed drastically, but in a specific way, by molecular recognition of uracil or barbituric acid. The main characteristics of the interfacial system can be essentially affected by the kinetics of the recognition process. Pure 2C11H23-melamine monolayers show only small compact, but nontextured domains. The monolayers of 2C11H23-melamine-uracil assemblies develop well-shaped circular condensed-phase domains having an inner texture with alkyl chains essentially oriented parallel to the periphery and having a striking tendency to two-dimensional (2D) Ostwald ripening. The 2C11H23-melamine-barbituric acid monolayers form large homogeneous areas of condensed phase that transfer at smaller areas per molecule to a homogeneous condensed monolayer. BAM imaging of corresponding assemblies with ((CH3(CH2)11O(CH2)3)2-melamine having modified alkyl chains demonstrates the specific effect of the monolayer component. GIXD results reveal that molecular recognition of pyrimidine derivatives gives rise only to quantitative changes in the two-dimensional lattice structure. The striking differences in the main characteristics between the supramolecular species are related to their different chemical structures. Quantum chemical calculations using the semiempirical PM3 method provide information about the different nature of the hydrogen-bonding-based supramolecular structures.  相似文献

The review demonstrates the recent theoretical and experimental progress in the understanding of penetration systems at the air-water interface in which a dissolved amphiphile (surfactant, protein) penetrates into a Langmuir monolayer. The critical review of the existing theoretical models which describe the thermodynamics of the penetration are critically reviewed. Although a rigorous thermodynamic analysis of penetration systems is unavailable due to their complexity, some model assumptions, e.g. the invariability of the activity coefficient of the insoluble component of the monolayer during the penetration of the soluble component results in reasonable solutions. New theoretical models describing the equilibrium behaviour of the insoluble monolayers which undergo the 2D aggregation in the monolayer, and the equations of state and adsorption isotherms which assume the existence of multiple states (conformations) of a protein molecule within the monolayer and the non-ideality of the adsorbed monolayers are now available. The theories which describe the penetration of a soluble surfactant into the main phases of Langmuir monolayers were presented first for the case of the mixture of the molecules possessing equal partial molar surfaces (the mixture of homologues), with further extension of the models to include the interesting process of the protein penetration into the monolayer of 2D aggregating phospholipid. This extension was based on a concept which subdivides the protein molecules into independent fragments with areas equal to those of the phospholipid molecule. Various mechanisms for the effect of the soluble surfactant on the aggregation of the insoluble component were considered in the theoretical models: (i) no effect on the aggregate formation process; (ii) formation of mixed aggregates; and (iii) the influence on the aggregating process via the change of aggregation constant, but without any formation of mixed aggregates. Accordingly depending on the mechanism, different forms of the equations of state of the monolayer and of the adsorption isotherms of soluble surfactant are predicted. Based on the shape of the experimental pi-A isotherms, interesting conclusions can be drawn on the real mechanism. First experimental evidence has been provided that the penetration of different proteins and surfactants into a DPPC monolayer in a fluid-like state induces a first order main phase transition of pure DPPC. The phase transition is indicated by a break point in the pi(t) penetration kinetics curves and the domain formation by BAM. Mixed aggregates of protein with phospholipid are not formed. These results agree satisfactorily with the predictions of the theoretical models. New information on phase transition and phase properties of Langmuir monolayers penetrated by soluble amphiphiles are obtained by coupling of the pi(t) penetration kinetics curves with BAM and GIXD measurements. The GIXD results on the penetration of beta-lactoglobulin into DPPC monolayers have shown that protein penetration occurs without any specific interactions with the DPPC molecules and the condensed phase consists only of DPPC.  相似文献

Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction reveals that a pentacene monolayer, grown on an amorphous SiO2 substrate that is commonly used as a dielectric layer in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), is crystalline. A preliminary energy-minimized model of the monolayer, based on the GIXD data, reveals that the pentacene molecules adopt a herringbone arrangement with their long axes tilted slightly from the substrate normal. Although this arrangement resembles the general packing features of the (001) layer in single crystals of bulk pentacene, the monolayer lattice parameters and crystal structure differ from those of the bulk. Because carrier transport in pentacene OTFTs is presumed to occur in the semiconductor layers near the dielectric interface, the discovery of a crystalline monolayer structure on amorphous SiO2 has important implications for transport in OTFTs.  相似文献

The effect of phase state of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on adhesion behavior was studied using a combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) methods. The phase state of SAMs was controlled by adjusting the reaction temperature. Order-to-disorder structural transitions in monolayers of n-alkyltrichlorosilanes resulted in dramatic increases in adhesion force and adhesion hysteresis, which represents the first report of alterations in adhesion properties due to phase changes of monolayers without any effect of chain length and surface heterogeneity. This increase in mechanical deformation of the disordered monolayer is understood to be caused by increases in (1) molecular contact between the AFM tip and a disordered monolayer due to the more deformable state of the latter and (2) monolayer deformation during unloading by the JKR probe lens. Adhesion hysteresis was found to have greater sensitivity toward the unloading rate for disordered monolayers. The occurrence of maximum hysteresis at faster rates proves that monolayer chain mobility increases with structural disorder, resulting in increased mechanical deformation.  相似文献

Crystalline ternary inclusion monolayers consisting of a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded host network of guanidinium (G) ions and organosulfonate (S) amphiphiles, and biphenylalkane guests, can be generated at the air-water interface through synergistic structural enforcement by hydrogen bonding and host-guest packing. Surface pressure-area isotherms of the 4'-hexadecylbiphenyl-4-sulfonate (C16BPS) amphiphile in the presence of G, with or without guest, are characterized by lift-off molecular areas expected for the GS sheet based on single-crystal X-ray structures of homologous bulk crystals. Intercalation of biphenylalkane guests (4-C(n)()H(2)(n)()(+1)-C(6)H(4)-C(6)H(5), n = 1, 4, 6, 10, 16; denoted CnBP) between organosulfonate hydrophobes, which define pocketlike cavities in the GS monolayer host, afford ternary inclusion monolayers with a 1:1 host-guest stoichiometry. These inclusion monolayers are less compressible than the guest-free host, consistent with dense packing of the biphenylalkane moieties of the host and the biphenylalkane guests. The inclusion monolayers are distinguished from the amorphous guest-free host and from selected guanidinium-free mixed monolayers by structural characterization with grazing-angle incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). The GIXD data for the ternary (G)C16BPS:C16BP and (G)C16BPS:C6BP inclusion monolayers obtained upon compression are consistent with a rectangular unit cell. The dimensions of these unit cells and refinement of the GIXD data suggest a "rotated shifted ribbon" GS hydrogen-bonding motif similar to that observed in some bulk GS crystals, including (G)(ethylbiphenylsulfonate). GIXD reveals that (G)C16BPS:C16BP and (G)C16BPS:C6BP are more crystalline than the corresponding guanidinium-free mixed monolayers. The (G)C16BPS:C6BP inclusion monolayer is stable upon compression, even though the alkyl-alkyl host-guest interactions are reduced due to the shorter hexyl substituents of the guest, demonstrating an important reinforcing role for the hydrogen-bonded GS sheet. The structure of a C16BPS:tetracosane (C24) mixed monolayer is independent of G; the unit cell symmetry and dimensions suggest a structure governed by alkyl-alkane interactions that prohibit formation of a GS network. These results illustrate that the existence of ternary inclusion monolayers with an intact GS network requires guest molecules that are structurally homologous with the hydrophobes of the host, in this case biphenylalkanes. The observation of these inclusion compounds suggests an approach for introducing functional nonamphiphilic molecules to an air-water interface through inclusion in a well-defined host.  相似文献

We report X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements of archaeal bipolar tetraether lipid monolayers at the air-water interface. Specifically, Langmuir films made of the polar lipid fraction E (PLFE) isolated from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius grown at three different temperatures, i.e., 68, 76, and 81 °C, were examined. The dependence of the structure and packing properties of PLFE monolayers on surface pressure were analyzed in a temperature range between 10 and 50 °C at different pH values. Additionally, the interaction of PLFE monolayers (using lipids derived from cells grown at 76 °C) with the ion channel peptide gramicidin was investigated as a function of surface pressure. A total monolayer thickness of approximately 30 ? was found for all monolayers, hinting at a U-shaped conformation of the molecules with both head groups in contact with the interface. The monolayer thickness increased with rising film pressure and decreased with increasing temperature. At 10 and 20 °C, large, highly crystalline domains were observed by GIXD, whereas at higher temperatures no distinct crystallinity could be observed. For lipids derived from cells grown at higher temperatures, a slightly more rigid structure in the lipid dibiphytanyl chains was observed. A change in the pH of the subphase had an influence only on the structure of the lipid head groups. The addition of gramicidin to an PLFE monolayer led to a more disordered state as observed by XRR. In GIXD measurements, no major changes in lateral organization could be observed, except for a decrease of the size of crystalline domains, indicating that gramicidin resides mainly in the disordered areas of the monolayer and causes local membrane perturbation, only.  相似文献

The aggregation of soluble, nontoxic amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide to beta-sheet containing fibrils is assumed to be a major step in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Interactions of Abeta with neuronal membranes could play a key role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Herein, we study the adsorption of synthetic Abeta peptide to DPPE and DMPE monolayers (dipalmitoyl- and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine). Both lipids exhibit a condensed monolayer state at 20 degrees C and form a similar lattice. However, at low packing densities (at large area per molecule), the length of the acyl chains determines the phase behavior, therefore DPPE is fully condensed whereas DMPE exhibits a liquid-expanded state with a phase transition at approximately 5-6 mNm(-1). Adsorption of Abeta to DPPE and DMPE monolayers at low surface pressure leads to an increase of the surface pressure to approximately 17 mNm(-1). The same was observed during adsorption of the peptide to a pure air-water interface. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) experiments show no influence of Abeta on the lipid structure. The adsorption kinetics of Abeta to a DMPE monolayer followed by IRRAS (infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy) reveals the phase transition of DMPE molecules from liquid-expanded to condensed states at the same surface pressure as for DMPE on pure water. These facts indicate no specific interactions of the peptide with either lipid. In addition, no adsorption or penetration of the peptide into the lipid monolayers was observed at surface pressures above 30 mNm(-1). IRRAS allows the measurement of the conformation and orientation of the peptide adsorbed to the air-water interface and to a lipid monolayer. In both cases, with lipids at surface pressures below 20 mNm(-1) and at the air-water interface, adsorbed Abeta has a beta-sheet conformation and these beta-sheets are oriented parallel to the interface.  相似文献

Over decades, information about the rheological properties of the condensed monolayer phases has been obtained by introduction of a two-dimensional compressibility which is defined on the basis of the surface pressure-molecular area (Pi-A) features of the monolayer. Since the last decade, fundamental progress was attained in the experimental determination of the main characteristics of Langmuir monolayers in microscopic and molecular scale. Already smallest changes in the molecular structure of the amphiphile can result in changes in the molecular arrangement in the monolayer and thus, in changes of the main characteristics of the monolayer such as, the surface pressure-area per molecule (Pi-A) isotherms, the shape and texture of the condensed phase domains and the two-dimensional lattice structure. As the classical equations of state allowed only characterisation of the fluid (gaseous, liquid-expanded) state, thermodynamically based equations of state, which consider also the aggregation of the monolayer material to the condensed phase, have been developed. The present review focuses particularly to amphiphilic monolayers, the Pi-A isotherms of which indicate the existence of two condensed phases. For this case, the experimental results of the differences in the structure features and phase properties are discussed. The generalisation of the equation of state for Langmuir monolayers developed for the case that one, two or more phase transitions in the monolayer take place, is in agreement with the experimental results that the two-dimensional compressibility of the condensed phases undergoes a jump at the phase transition, whereas the compressibility is proportional to the surface pressure within one of the condensed phases. An example is presented which explains the procedure of the theoretical analysis of Pi-A isotherms indicating the existence of two condensed phases. An element of the procedure is the application of the general principle that the behaviour of any thermodynamic system is determined by the stability condition. An interesting anisotropy of the compressibility is revealed by GIXD studies of the S-phase of octadecanol monolayers. However, similar studies performed close to the LS-S-phase transition would result in a thermodynamically impossible negative compressibility. Close to this phase transition, the compressibility cannot be determined from the positions of the maxima because the monolayer is in a disordered state attributed to elastic distortions by fluctuations with the structure of the new phase in the surrounding matrix without destroying the quasi-long-range positional order.  相似文献

A systematic analysis of pressure-area isotherms and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) data of 22-methoxydocosan-1-ol (H3C-O-(CH2)22-OH, MDO), docosan-1-ol (H3C-(CH2)21-OH, DO), and docosyl methyl ether (H3C-(CH2)21-O-CH3, DME) monolayers on pure water between 10 and 35 degrees C is presented. All monolayers form fully condensed phases in the investigated temperature region. The GIXD data reveal that the monolayers exhibit the phase sequence -S at lower temperature and -LS at higher temperature. Phase diagrams have been established. Inserting a second hydrophilic group at the opposite end of the molecule (bipolar MDO) shifts the S/LS boundary to higher temperatures. All monolayers exhibit herringbone (HB) packing at lower temperatures. The "kink" in the isotherms observed at lower temperatures is replaced by a very small plateau region at higher temperatures. The entropy changes connected with this weak first-order tilting transition are much smaller compared with the first-order transition from liquid-expanded (LE) to condensed (LC). Additionally, this transition is endothermic in contrast to the LE/LC transition. The reason for the endothermic transition is the weaker positional correlation in the nontilted state compared with the tilted one. The appearance of the weak first-order endothermic transition can be connected with the changed phase sequence. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements provide information about the polar group orientation. Considerations based on GIXD and XPS data as well as adhesion energy of the different terminal end groups lead to the conclusion that the hydroxyl group of the bipolar MDO is attached to the water surface while the methoxy group is in contact with air. The presented results show that the second hydrophilic group influences the monolayer properties in a mild way.  相似文献

Crystalline monolayers of octadecylsulfonate amphiphiles (C18S) separated by hydrophilic guanidinium (G) spacer molecules were formed at the air-water interface at a surface coverage that was consistent with that expected for a fully condensed monolayer self-assembled by hydrogen bonding between the G ions and the sulfonate groups. The surface pressure-area isotherms reflected reinforcement of this monolayer by hydrogen bonding between the G ions and the sulfonate groups, and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements, performed in-situ at the air-water interface, revealed substantial tilt of the alkyl hydrophobes (t = 49 degrees with respect to the surface normal), which allowed the close packing of the C18 chains needed for a stable crystalline monolayer. This property contrasts with behavior observed previously for monolayers of hexadecylbiphenylsulfonate (C16BPS) and G, which only formed crystallites upon compression, accompanied by ejection of the G ions from the air-water interface. Upon compression to higher surface pressures, GIXD revealed that the highly tilted (G)C18S monolayer crystallites transformed to a self-interdigitated (G)C18S crystalline multilayer accompanied by a new crystalline monolayer phase with slightly tilted alkyl chains and disordered sulfonate headgroups. This transformation was dependent on the rate of compression, suggesting kinetic limitations for the "zipper-like" transformation from the crystalline monolayer to the self-interdigitated (G)C18S crystalline multilayer.  相似文献
