Supramolecular nano-architectures and two-dimensional/three-dimensional aggregation of a bolaamphiphilic diacid at the air/water interface

Substitution controlled molecular orientation and nanostructure in the Langmuir–Blodgett films of a series of amphiphilic naphthylidene-containing Schiff base derivatives

“…Therefore, a multilayer film or three-dimensional (3D) structure could be suggested in these spreading films. Similar phenomena have been also observed for the spreading films of some bolaamphiphiles [12][13][14]. For HNOA-2, the monolayer showed the onset of the surface pressure at 0.42 nm 2 /molecule.…”

“…On the other hand, these isotherms could be reproduced. Based on the relative research reports about bolaamphiphilic compounds in organized molecular films, [18,19,23] a multilayer film or three-dimensional structure could be suggested in these spreading films. As for BNC10 films, the extrapolating areas were 0.16 and 0.19 nm 2 =molecule for the isotherms on pure water and on the Cu(II) ions sub phase, respectively.…”

“…[13][14][15] Therefore, not only traditional monolayer and multilayer films, but also the novel two-dimensional or three-dimensional nano-architectures could be constructed by utilizing the simple air=water interface. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Previously, we have found that bolaamphiphilic acids could coordinate with different metal ions and fabricate novel nanostructures. [17,18] In addition, as a continuing work, we have investigated the organization and nanostructure construction of amphiphilic tyrosine-based bolaamphiphile on the sub phase containing different metal ions.…”

[17,18] In addition, as a continuing work, we have investigated the organization and nanostructure construction of amphiphilic tyrosine-based bolaamphiphile on the sub phase containing different metal ions. [19] So it seemed that the selection and design of the amphiphilic structures is very important to obtain a surface nanostructured film and some special spectral features.…”

“…[4][5][6][7] So far, beside the simple amphiphiles themselves, the interaction between the amphiphiles and their interactions with ions and other compounds dissolved in the subphase can be used to obtain stable monolayers or nanoarchitectures. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] It suggested that the design and selection of the amphiphiles and their interactions with other factors are very important to obtain an organized film with special nanostructure.…”
