Preparation of Nanoparticulate [PMo11Cu(H2O)O39]5--n-C18H37NH2 Film Using Langmuir-BIodgett Method

Nanoparticulate PMo₁₁Cu(H₂O)O₃₉]^5--(PCuMo₁₁)-n-C₁₈H₃₇NH₂ composite monolayer can be formed at the air-liquid interface using nanoparticulate PCuMo₁₁ as the subphase. The area extrapolated to π=0 is 0.27 nm² per hydrocarbon chain of the monolayer. The collapse pressure is about 3.5×10^-1 N. The composite monolayer was deposited on the solid substrate using the LB technique. The XPS characterization of the composite monolayer showed that in the film the directional alignment of PCuMo₁₁, molecules was in the direction of Cu atoms close to the amino groups of the octadecylamine moleculos.
