Monolayer characterisation and multilayer deposition of conducting Langmuir-Blodgett films

Study of molecular arrangement of organized molecular films of charge–transfer complexes containing 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate by in-plane and out-of-plane X-ray diffractions

“…Furthermore, the ac magnetic susceptibility and resistance of these films suggested the existence of a superconducting phase below 4 K [21]. Further, Gupta and co-workers reported detailed monolayer behavior of alkylammonium-metal(dmit) 2 and electrical conduction of the resultant LB film [22][23][24]. Bryce and Petty investigated the electrical conductivity of LB films of charge-transfer complexes containing dmit [25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Molecular Orientation in Langmuir Monolayers Containing the [M(dmit)2]n-Anion Determined from Surface Pressure and Surface Potential Isotherms

“…For all these so-called semiamphiphilic salts it has been shown that although monolayers can be formed at the air−water interface, considerable care and attention to detail is necessary to ensure uniformity. When spread from solution, the materials initially form aggregates which dissipate only slowly into monolayers, and long spreading times of several hours are usually necessary to ensure complete dispersal. , …”

“…When spread from solution, the materials initially form aggregates which dissipate only slowly into monolayers, and long spreading times of several hours are usually necessary to ensure complete dispersal. 7,8 The relative orientations of the component molecules is a crucial factor in governing the electrical characteristics of molecular materials, since this will influence the nature of the molecular orbital overlap and hence the band structure of the solid. 9 It is desirable, therefore, to determine and ultimately to control the molecular ori- entation in such materials.…”
