The mixed monolayers of a photosensitive crown-ether (CE) and poly(maleic a
cid hexadecyl monoamide-alt-propylene) (P12) have been prepared and studied
. Fluorescence spectra of CE have a strong band at 530-535 nm in solution (
monomer) or at 593-603 nm in transferred monolayers (aggregates). Due to th
e interaction with poly mer the fluorescence maximum of CE is shifted to 53
0 nm in the mixed monolayers with P12.
