PREPARATION OF NANOPARTICULATE [PMO11CU(H2O)O-39](5-)-N-C18H37NH2 FILM USING LANGMUIR-BLODGETT METHOD

Nanoparticulate [PMo11Cu(H2O)O-39](5-) (PCuMo11)-n-C18H37NH2 composite monolayer can be formed at the air-liquid interface using nanoparticu late PCuMo11 as the subphase. The area extrapolated to pi=0 is 0.27 nm (2) per hydrocarbon chain of the monolayer. The collapse pressure is a bout 3.5X10(-4) N. The composite monolayer was deposited on the solid substrate using the LB technique. The XPS characterization of the comp osite monolayer showed that in the film the directional alignment of P CuMo11 molecules was in the direction of Cu atoms close to the amino g roups of the octadecylamine molecules.
