FERROCENER DERIVATIVES, SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS THAT CONTAIN THEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THIN ORGANIC FILMS.

摘要

New ferrocene derivs. are of formulae (I), (II) or (III). In the formulae R1 and R2 are H, methyl, ethyl, methoxy or carbomethoxy groups; R3 is H, OH, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, carbomethoxy, carboxyl, or sulphonic acid groups; X represents a halogen atom; CnH(2n) represents a 4-16C opt. branched alkylene group; r represents an integer between 11 and 18; s is a real number between 2.0 and 50.0; w is an integer between 2 and 18. These ferrocene derivs. are specifically used for preparing surfactants. The thin hydrophobic organic film is prepared using an electrochemical process. Hydrophobic organic materials are dissolved in an aq. soln. using a micelle-forming agent contg. the ferrocene derivs. When the resulting micelle soln. is electrolysised, a thin hydrophobic organic film is formed on the electrode.
