Sy. Zaitsev et al., PHOTOSENSITIVE AND IONOSELECTIVE PROPERTIES OF THE AMPHIPILIC CROWN-ETHER DYE IN MONOLAYERS, Thin solid films, 329, 1998, pp. 821-823
Monolayers of the amphiphilic benzo-15-crown-5 styryl dye were prepare
d. Their ionoselective and photosensitive properties in the presence o
f K+ or Na+ cations in the aqueous subphases were investigated. The re
versible changes of the reflection intensity (due to trans-cis-trans i
somerization of the C=C bound in dye molecule) can be observed only fo
r complexes of the dye molecules in monolayers with cations from the a
queous subphase. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
