回顾了与Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)技术有关的电荷转移配合物薄膜的各类制备方法、结构表征结果,并比较了制备方法对薄膜结构的影响.例如,将LB膜C18H37TCNQ(电子受体)插入到电子给体3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine(四甲基联苯胺, TMB)的石油醚溶液中进行掺杂,制备了TMB•C18H37TCNQ电荷转移配合物薄膜.在这种薄膜中,给体和受体以面对面的方式堆积,两者的环平面与基片平面接近垂直.而采用硬脂酸和C18H37TCNQ的混合LB膜通过类似的掺杂路线制备的TMB•C18H37TCNQ薄膜的结构发生了一些变化,例如其长的烃链C18H37更加垂直于基片平面.通过比较以前的各种实验结果可以得出以下结论:电荷转移配合物的结构可以通过制备方法得到控制.     

Effects of a central metal on the organization of 5,10,15,20-tetra-(p-chlorophenyl)-rare earth porphyrin hydroxyl compound at the air/water interface and in Langmuir-Blodgett films

Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of 5,10,15,20-tetra-(p-chlorophenyl) terbium/gadolinium porphyrin hydroxyl compound (TbOH and GdOH) and their mixtures with stearic acid (SA) in a molar ratio of 1:1 were investigated by Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). pi-A isotherms showed that well-defined Langmuir monolayers were formed at an air/water interface for the porphyrins and their mixture with SA. The BAM observations suggest that the pi-pi interaction between the GdOH molecules is stronger than that between the TbOH molecules. This result can be further confirmed by the AFM measurements. After the introduction of SA, the pi-pi interaction between the TbOH molecules is broken and thus two phases formed in the mixed LB film. However, it cannot break the stronger pi-pi interaction between the GdOH molecules. Therefore, no phase separation is observed in the GdOH/SA LB film. IR reflection-absorption (RA) spectra showed that the COOH groups of SA are partly converted to COO(-) groups, suggesting that there is an interaction between MOH and SA in the films. This interaction leads the benzene rings of TbOH to rotate toward parallel to the substrate and those of GdOH to rotate toward perpendicular to the substrate. All these results have demonstrated that the central metal ions have great effects on the organization and formation of the films.     

The incorporation of C_(60) in cavities of 5,10,15,20-tetra-4-oxy(2-stearic acid)phenyl porphyrin in LB film

The structure and properties of mixed monolayer or LB film of 5,10,15,20-tetra-4-oxy(2-stearic acid)phenyl porphyrin/C60 were studied. A isotherms and small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD) results show that C60 molecules were incorporated into the cavities of por-phyrin molecules in mixed monolayer and LB film . UV-vis spectra of mixed LB films show that the absorption intensity of porphyrin varied compared with pure porphyrin film, probably arising from the interactions between C60 and porphyrin ring. C60 molecules in mixed systems are well-dispersed. The TPP(CO2H)/C60 mixed LB film is a kind of two-dimensional host-guest system.     

Langmuir-Blodgett films of 9-phenyl anthracene molecules incorporated into different matrices

This communication reports the surface pressure (pi) versus area per molecule (A) isotherm characteristics of the mixed films of 9-phenyl anthracene (PA) in stearic acid (SA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrices, at the air-water interface. The mixed Langmuir films at the air-water interface have been observed to be easily transferred onto solid substrates to form uniform Langmuir-Blodgett films. By changing various parameters, namely molefraction, surface pressure of lifting and number of layers, the mixed Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of various types have been fabricated successfully and their spectroscopic characteristics have been reported. From the isotherm characteristics and the area per molecule versus molefraction plot, it is evident that the PA molecules are successfully incorporated into mixed Langmuir-Blodgett films. UV-vis absorption spectroscopic study of the mixed LB films at various molefractions of PA in two different matrices reveal that formation of I-type aggregate in PMMA matrix whereas both I- and H-type aggregates are playing their dominant role in SA matrix. Moreover, fluorescence spectroscopic study reveals reabsorption effect. Molecular movement persists in the freshly prepared LB films, as is evident from the time dependent changes in both UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of the mixed LB films in both matrices. From our observation it is evident that about 200 h is required to get the LB films in a stable condition. Dimers and higher order n-mers are formed at a higher surface pressure of 30 mNm(-1).     

Tuning the arrangement of mono-crown ether-substituted phthalocyanines in Langmuir-Blodgett films by the length of alkyl chains and the cation in subphase

Amphiphilic phthalocyanines with one crown ether and three alkyl chain substitutions can form stable monolayers on a water surface. This monolayer can be transferred to a substrate by a vertical dipping method. The arrangement of phthalocyanine molecules in LB films was affected by the length of alkyl chains and the coordination of alkali ions in crown ether. Davydov splitting was observed in the absorption spectra of the LB films of phthalocyanine with the shortest alkyl chain substitutions, and this splitting was affected by the alkali ions in the subphase.

组份可控的钌螯合物功能单分子膜

用作“表面离子”的钌螯合物Ru(dpphen)32+与脂肪酸类成膜分子以1:2混合时能够得到稳定的混合单分子膜.以十八烷基三氯硅烷（octadecayl trichloro silane, OTS）分子部分取代Ru(dpphen)32+,得到功能分子组份可控的混合单分子膜.研究表明,OTS分子在纯水表面上可以形成交联网状单分子膜结构,混入硬脂酸（SA）分子后,网状结构逐渐被破坏.SA含量增加,破坏的程度就增大,直至SA/OTS为3:1时,完全没有网状交联结构,形成可以用来沉积LB膜的均匀致密的单分子膜.表面离子Ru(dpphen)32+与OTS和SA一起构成三组份混合单分子膜,OTS和Ru(dpphen)32+为表面离子.单分子膜中混有Ru(dpphen)32+分子,可以有效地阻止OTS的交联发生,同时Ru(dpphen)32+/SA基团与OTS/SA基团是均匀共混的.改变Ru(dpphen)32+/SA基团与OTS/SA基团的混合比,即可以做到Ru(dpphen)32+的组份精确可控,得到可用来沉积LB膜的均一、稳定的单分子膜.     

硬脂酸镉和山嵛酸镉混合LB膜的微结构

X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the microstructure and phase separation of mixed multilayers of cadmium stearate (SA) and behenate (BA) deposited onto hydrophilic glass by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. No unitary fatty acid diffraction peaks in the XRD spectra of the mixed LB films, which reveals that domains in these samples are small and uniform. The interplanar spacing of the mixed LB films changes with the ratio of BA to SA in a step-shaped curve, which suggests that with the changing of the ratio between BA and SA, only three kinds of ordered structure form in the mixed system, and each microstructure, in particular, the short chains against long chains meshed microstructure can be maintained in a certain ratio range . In addition, for the meshed microstructure, the alkyl chains of both SA and BA stand straight or may have exactly the same small tilted angle from the substrate normal, as is indicated by the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibration of methylene (CH2) peaks which are at 2847.80 and 2914.37 cm-1respectively in the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) transmission spectra. The mixed system always goes through a longitudinal regularity decreasing process when BA/SA is out of the intermediate ratio range (BA/SA: 1/5-1/1), which is illustrated by the relative XRD intensity changing with the ratio of BA/ SA in a \W" shape. These results for the mixed LB films of BA/SA provide meaningful data for choosing the mixture ratio when fabricating composite films with special structure.     

Langmuir-Blodgett films of p-terphenyl in different matrices: evidence of dual excimer

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films at different mole fractions of p-terphenyl have been prepared using two different matrices, viz., stearic acid (SA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Multilayered LB films have been formed by changing various LB parameters namely, mole fraction of mixing, changing the number of layers as well as also the different surface pressure of lifting. The spectroscopic characteristics of mixed LB films, solution and microcrystal have been compared using UV-vis absorption and steady state fluorescence spectroscopy. Change of planarity of TP molecules are occurred while going from solution to solid states/films. Fluorescence spectra of the mixed LB films reveal intense excimeric emission in the mixed LB films with D1 excimer peak at 397 nm and D2 excimer peak at 412 nm. Various LB parameters namely changing the number of layers as well as the different surface pressure of lifting played important roles in the formation of dual excimeric sites in the mixed LB films.     

Self-organization of a sulfonamido-porphyrin in Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett films

Langmuir monolayers (LM) and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of pure lipophilic meso-tetra(4-dodecylaminosulfophenyl)porphyrin (PC12) and mixed with the anionic surfactant sodium hexadecylsulfate (SHS) were studied. The molecular packing and structure of PC12 and PC12-4SHS with variable surface pressure were investigated by surface pressure-area measurements, steady-state absorption, fluorescence emission and anisotropy, as well as by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). At low surface pressure, the porphyrin molecules are organized with the rings tilted on the water surface whereas at high surface pressure the porphyrin rings achieve a more perpendicular arrangement. Using the FLIM images a gradual change of aggregates into large "islands" is observed. Different patterns are observed in the pure PC12 multilayer films (n = 3 and 5) with ordered patches superimposed which are not observed in the PC12-4SHS multilayer LB films.     

Photoinduced electron transfer in Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of porphyrin-fullerene dyads

A series of electron donor-acceptor (DA) dyads, composed of a porphyrin donor and a fullerene acceptor covalently linked with two molecular chains, were used to fabricate solid molecular films with the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. By means of the LB technique, the DA molecules can be oriented perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. In DHD6ee and its zinc derivative hydrophilic groups are attached to the phenyl moieties in the porphyrin end of the molecule; while in the other three dyads, TBD6a, TBD6hp, and TBD4hp, the hydrophilic groups are in the fullerene end of the molecule. This makes it possible to alternate the orientation of the molecules in two opposite directions with respect to the air-water interface and to fabricate molecular assemblies in which the direction of the primary photoinduced vectorial electron transfer can be controlled both by the deposition direction of the LB monolayer and by the selection of the used DA molecule. This was proved by the time-resolved Maxwell displacement charge measurements. The spectroscopic properties of the DA films were studied with the steady-state absorption and fluorescence methods. In addition, the time correlated single photon counting technique was used to determine the fluorescence properties of the dyad films.     

Molecular Orientation and Structure in LB Films of a Liquid Crystal MPUOPM Investigated by UV-Vis and IR Spectroscopy

"?Langmuir monolayers and LB films of 4-((s)-2-methylbutoxy)phenyl-(4'-(10-undecen-1-oyloxy)phenyl) methylenimine (MPUOPM) were investigated by ultraviolet-visible, polarized infrared spectroscopy. ?-A isotherms showed well-defined Langmuir monolayers were formed at an air/water interface for the MPUOPM and their mixture with SA. An inflection point at 13 mN/m appeared on the isotherm, which was due to the transition from the monolayer to multilayer. The polarized IR spectra of LB films of MPUOPM had provided new insight into the molecular orientation and structure. In LB films, the tilted angle between the alkyl chain and the normal line of the substrate was 48ffi, the tilted angle between the dipole moment of C=N and the normal line of the substrate was 51ffi. The alkyl chains assumed a trans-zigzag conformation but it included a few gauche conformers. The C=N groups were almost in one plane in the LB films. "     

Role of microenvironment in the mixed Langmuir-Blodgett films

This paper reports the pi-A isotherms and spectroscopic characteristics of mixed Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of nonamphiphilic carbazole (CA) molecules mixed with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and stearic acid (SA). pi-A isotherm studies of mixed monolayer as well as the remarkable change in collapse pressure of the mixed monolayer isotherms definitely show that CA is incorporated into PMMA and SA matrices. However, CA is stacked in the PMMA/SA chains and forms microcrystalline aggregates, as is evidenced from the scanning electron micrograph picture. The nature of these aggregated species in the mixed LB films has been revealed by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies. The presence of two different kinds of band systems in the fluorescence spectra of the mixed LB films have been observed. This may be due to the formation of low-dimensional aggregates in the mixed LB films. Intensity distribution of different band systems is highly sensitive to the microenvironment of two different matrices as well as also on the film thickness.

Vacuum ultraviolet optical analysis of spin‐cast chitosan films modified by succinic anhydride and glycidyl phenyl ether

Optical properties of spin‐cast chitosan films were determined in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) through visible regions of the spectrum using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The onset of absorption in the ultraviolet was determined for chitosan films modified with succinic anhydride (SA) and glycidyl phenyl ether (GPE). This absorption was accounted for by including Gaussian and Tauc–Lorentz shaped oscillators in the optical model. VUV through visible optical constants were determined for these modified films, as well as for immunoglobulin G (IgG) attached to GPE‐modified samples. Several resonant oscillator structures exhibit greatly differing oscillator parameters for the as‐deposited, as well as SA‐ and GPE‐modified films. These in‐plane and out‐of‐plane oscillator strengths, energy positions, and broadening were determined and tabulated, and their chemical origins identified. A phenyl resonant π‐bond at approximately 6.3 eV was observed for the GPE‐modified sample. This was not present in the bare chitosan data. GPE contains a phenyl group in the molecule and absorption due to it is clearly identified. Clarity of data after surface chemical modification is due to the high surface sensitivity of VUV ellipsometry. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Physicomechanical studies on the langmuir‐blodgett films of polythiophene containing mesogenic side chains

Liquid crystalline materials display unique properties, which can be exploited in various optoelectronic device applications. The Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) film characteristics of polythiophene model compounds containing phenyl rings linked with azomethine, ester, and alkoxy functional groups poly‐4‐{[(E)‐thiophen‐3‐ylmethylidene]amino}phenyl 4‐alkyloxybenzoate (PTAPAB series) and poly‐4‐alkyloxy phenyl 4‐{[(E)‐thiophen‐3‐ylmethylidene]amino}benzoate (PAPTAB Series) were explored in this study. The AM1 optimized geometries of the aforementioned compounds showed that the films have different type of orientation in space because of the change in the linking functional group. The LB film characteristics were studied by applying the concepts of the failure mechanism in tensile failure. The compression‐expansion hysteresis cycle of the LB films at predetermined area per repeat unit was used to study the viscous, elastic, and plastic nature of the films. The results showed that in PAPTAB series compounds, the LB films were more flexible and took less surface energy than its PTAPAB series homologues, which formed into LB films of rigid nature. The LB films of PAPTAB series compounds were of more viscoplastic in nature. The studies suggested that PAPTAB series structures exhibited good thin film forming nature than its PTAPAB series homologues. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of redox cellulose Langmuir–Blodgett films containing a ferrocene derivative

The 3‐ferrocenoylpropanoyl group, one of the redox species, was introduced at C‐2 and/or C‐3 positions of 6‐O‐(4‐stearyloxytrityl)cellulose. The spreading behavior of the cellulose derivatives on the water surface and the properties of Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films were investigated. The surface pressure–area isotherm of the cellulose monolayer was changed by the subphase temperature. Uniform monolayers of 6‐O‐(4‐stearyloxytrityl)cellulose 3‐ferrocene propionate (STCFc) could be deposited successively onto several substrates by the horizontal lifting method at 10 mN m^?1, and this produced X‐type LB films. The successive uniform depositions of STCFc were confirmed by ultraviolet–visible absorption spectra. X‐ray diffraction measurements indicated that the thickness of the STCFc molecules in the LB films was 1.99 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements supported the idea that hydrocarbon chains in the LB films were highly ordered (trans‐zigzag) and oriented considerably perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. Moreover, the C?O group of the ferrocenoyl groups was perpendicular to the surface of the substrate, and the ferrocene group was occupied in the water phase. Cyclic voltammograms for the STCFc monolayer on a gold electrode exhibited surface waves. The interfacial electron‐transfer process between the redox site incorporated into the cellulose LB monolayer and the electrode surface was fast enough at a scanning rate lower than 100 mV s^?1. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
