Amphiphilic 1 ,Z-diol derivatives and their acetonides, incorporating rigid aromatic structural units, have been prepared. They exhibit liquid-crystalline behaviour and form stable monolayers at the air/water interface. The force-area isotherms obtained depend largely on the chemical structure of the rigid core.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
