Abstract
A new class of Langmuir monolayers consisting of amine derivatives of the C-60 fullerene is presented. X-ray and neutron reflectivity measur ements and surface pressure-molecular area isotherms of spread films o f the fullerene-dodecylamine (C-60-[NH2(CH2)(2)CH11](5)) and of the fu llerene-propylamine (C-60-[NH2(CH2)(2)CH3](12)) adducts indicate that despite the lack of distinct amphiphilic character, these materials fo rm homogeneous monomolecular layers at air-water interfaces.
