Research on Interfacial Assembly of Some Trigonal Schiff Base Amphiphiles in LB Films

摘要

Some trigonal Schiff base amphiphiles with symmetric aromatic cores and different substituted headgroups were designed and their interfacial assemblies were investigated. When on the metal ions subphases, an in situ coordination can occur for all compounds. The coordinated films could be transferred onto solid substrates and subsequently characterized by morphological characterization with atomic force microscopy measurement. Depending on the trigonal molecular structures and different substituted headgroups, these amphiphiles showed distinct assembly behaviors in the organized molecular films.
