Polymerization under UV irradiation is studied in monolayer Langmuir-Schaefer films of diin N-arylcarbamate derivative. The formation of a stable polymer blue phase of diacetylene derivative stable against excess UV light and heating to a temperature of 120 • C was detected. The formation of the structurally ordered Langmuir monolayer of monomers is studied using Brewster angle microscopy.Keywords: Langmuir-Schaefer polymer films, blue phase.Diacetylene (DA) derivatives were objects of a large number of studies dealing with synthesis, structure, optical properties, and possible applications of these compounds [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In many cases, samples were prepared using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. Monomolecular diacetylene films prepared by this method have a number of advantages in comparison with bulk single-crystal samples of these materials [10]. For example, the thermal and mechanical stability of polymerized DA thin films in combination with specific characteristics of the film itself or characteristics introduced by other functional groups could be efficiently used in microelectronics, integrated optics, biological and chemical sensors, and in developing other molecular devices. It is known that the photochemical reaction of diins is a topochemical polymerization (TP) reaction, which means that the average area per molecule almost does not change during reaction [11]. It is also well known that the reaction does not occur until reactive groups appear at a certain distance and with certain orientation with respect to each other [5,12,13]. The polymerization process of the light-transparent DA film can be easily detected using visible spectroscopy, since the polydiacetylene (PDA) film shows extremely high optical density in the visible region of the spectrum [13][14][15]. The basic PDA forms are well known, which are referred to as the blue phase (absorption maximum at λ max ∼ 620 − 640 nm) and the red phase (Λ max ∼ 520 − 540 nm) [16]. Very often, due to external exposures (temperature, mechanical stresses, excess UV irradiation, and others), the blue phase transforms to the red phase [17][18][19][20]. PDA showing such color transitions can be a basis for developing various chemical sensors and biosensors [21][22][23][24][25]. Much less common are "blue" PDA films stable to excess UV irradiation or an elevated ambient temperature. The present work is devoted to exactly such films.The objective of this research is to study the TP of Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) films of diin Narylcarbamate with asymmetric structure O MeO − C 6 H 4 NHCO(CH 2 ) 5 (C ≡ C) 2 (CH 2 ) 2 OH.Synthesis of this compound was previously reported in [26,27]. Diin monomer solutions (c = 0.12 − 0.14 mmol) were prepared using analytical grade chloroform (Merck). A "KSV LB Mini trough"
