Studies on structure of TC16PyP(4)/AnQ LB films

Using n[TC16PyP(4)]/n (anthraquinone)(1 : I) mixture as film-forming materi al, the film-forming property of TC16PyP(4)/AnQ mixture on the air/water in terface was studied. The structure of mixed TC16PyP(4)/AnQ LB films was cha racterized by pi -A isotherms, UV-Vis absorption spectra and low-angle X-ra y diffraction (LAXD). The experimental results indicate that the TC16PyP(4) /AnQ mixture can form a stable monolayer on the air/water interface. Most A nQ molecules are incorporated into the cavities between the long alkyl chai ns of TC16PyP(4) molecules in the mixed monolayer and LB films. Mixed TC16P yP(4)/AnQ monolayer can be transferred to the substrates. TC16PyP(4)/AnQ LB films have a good stability and periodicity.
