Langmuir–Blodgett films of a benzothiazolium dye containing a crown ether ring

Abstract: The structure of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films built up from a novel benzothiazolium steryl dye containing a l,lO-dithia-18-crown-6 ether group has been investigated using ellipsometry and polarised absorption spectroscopy. The Y-type deposition results in a uniaxial film with a thickness of 2.18 2 0.08 nm per monolayer and an index of refraction of 1.57 f 0.03. The chromophore parts of the molecule exhibit an in-plane orientation. The influence of mercury vapour on the LB films has also been investigated using… Show more

“…The short wavelength component is characteristic of H-aggregates formed upon compression. Indeed, as it is known, hemicyanine dyes have a strong trend to self-associate into various types of complexes such as dimers as well as H- and J-aggregates. This H-aggregation starts at rather low pressures of 14–17 mN/m and becomes well pronounced at further compression to 30 mN/m (Figure ). The asymmetry of the absorption band of the compressed monolayer indicates that aggregation of the dye is accompanied by the splitting of its electronic spectrum, intensities, and widths of these two components being comparable.…”

“…In several works [24][25][26][27] the formation of a trilayer by the roll-over mechanism has been proposed, always linked with the development of a plateau in the isotherm. In our case, AFM images do not indicate that a homogeneous trilayer is formed, but only random distributed islands of several nm height are observed in the quasi plateau region.…”

“…Scheme of Complex Formation in a Floating Monolayer. To take into account the possible formation of sandwich complexes and aggregates in a floating monolayer, a more detailed reaction scheme must be considered L + M -LM (3) ztL + (n -1)M ¿ L"M"_i (4) Km triL Am, where n,m = 2, 3, 4,...
