A monolayer of 2-amino-4,6-di(dodecylamino)-1,3,5triazine 1 transferred from barbituric acid solution onto a mica plate is observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to show regularly arrayed terminal methyl groups of 1 as a result of hydrogen-bond networking.We have recently reported multisite molecular recognition between multicomponent monolayers on water and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in water. 1 This result opened the possibility to control the alignment of component amphiphiles within a monolayer.2 We extended this concept one step further in the present study and examined extended hydrogen-bond network formation between a monolayer of 2-amino-4,6-di(dodecylamino)-l,3,5-triazine 17 and aqueous barbituric acid.
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.
