| Abstract: | Carboxyl and amino groups have been inserted into calix(8) arene rings in order to yield two materials which, when processed as alternate layer Langmuir-Blodgett assemblies, exhibit the pyroelectric effect. Such a temperature-dependent electric polarisation arises partially from the proton transfer between the acid and amine groups. The calix(8) arene system has been selected owing to the extreme tinness, of each monolayer(~1.0 nm), the resulting high density of acid-amine pairs and the very high thermal stability exhibited by calixarenes(typically m.p.>200℃). |
