M. Liu et al., PHOTO-EXCITED HYDROGEN-TRANSFER IN THE LB FILMS OF LONG-CHAIN ANILS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 294, 1997, pp. 137-140
Long-chain anils of salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and or
tho-nitrobenzaldehyde were newly synthesized and the photo-excited hyd
rogen transfer in the LB films of these compounds was investigated. Hy
drogen transfer occurred in all the LB films. The back reaction in the
LB films of anils of salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde was
markedly suppressed in comparison with the corresponding solutions. No
back reaction was observed in the LB films of derivatives from ortho-
nitrobenzaldehyde.
