Spectroscopic and structural characteristics of Langmuir–Blodgett films of bis[2,3,9,10,16,17,24,25-octakis(octyloxy)phthalocyaninato] rare earth complexes

Nanoscale Surface Patterns from 103 Single Molecule Helices of Biodegradable Poly(l-lactic acid)

“…The lamellar features are parallel to the LB film deposition direction, as shown in the Supporting Information (Figures S3−S5). The orientation of the lamellae suggests that the shape persistent features behave like rigid rod polymers (a detailed discussion is provided in the Supporting Information). − A 2D Fourier transform of the 2 × 2 μm 2 AFM image in Figure a shows an anisotropic periodic structure with a length scale around 56 nm (Figure b). To clearly examine the lamellae, a 0.7 × 0.7 μm 2 portion (Figure c) is cut from the original 2 × 2 μm 2 AFM image (box in Figure a) and is subjected to a line scan analysis and a subsequent 2D fast Fourier transform (FFT).…”

Adhering magnetic molecules to surfaces

“…As early as 1993 there were Langmuir-Blodgett films being prepared with 7a, due to interest in their electrochromic and semiconducting properties. 73,74 The unsubstituted molecule has since been studied on a number of surfaces for a variety of reasons.…”

Optical and surface morphological studies on CuPcOC8 thin films prepared by physical vapour deposition

“…Thus far, various kinds of different substituents such as alkyl, alkoxy and thioalkoxy groups have been introduced onto the peripheral and/or nonperipheral positions of the Pc ligand [26]. Because of their large conjugated molecular structure, together with strong π-π interactions between aromatic rings, Pc derivatives have also been used as sample building blocks for ordered molecular systems [27]. Octakis (octyloxy) substituted Pc's show self assembling behavior.…”
