Research on Interfacial Assembly and Coordination of Two Bolaform Schiff Base Compounds with Aromatic Spacer

摘要

Two bolaform Schiff bases derivatives with aromatic spacer have been designed and their interfacial phase behaviors and coordination with Cu(II) ions were investigated. It has been found that on the subphase containing Cu(II) ions, both Schiff bases can coordinate with Cu(II) in situ in the spreading films. The in situ Cu(II)-coordinated films could be transferred onto solid substrates and subsequently characterized by various spectroscopic methods such as UV-vis and Fourier transform infrared spectra as well as the morphological characterization with atomic force microscopy measurement. Depending on the different headgroups, both amphiphiles showed different aggregation behaviors in the Langmuir-Blodgett films.
