Abstract
Macrocyclic ionophores in thin films are of interest for sensors or no vel ionophotoswitching devices. Continuing work on floating monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett mutilayers of macrocyclic ionophores-such as cr own ether ionophores, cyclodextrins and valinomycin-is reviewed. The f igure shows a schematic representation of the complex of valinomycin ( a biopolymer based on a 36-membered ring) with potassium.
