Popis: | The assembly of amphiphilic phenylacetylene macrocycles (PAMs), with molecular structures that vary in terms of the nature and orientation of their pendant functional groups, has been studied on a Langmuir−Blodgett trough and after transfer onto solid substrates. These monolayer films are of interest as two-dimensional host matrices and shape selective membranes whose two-dimensional organization should bring together shape selective compartments. The disk-like PAMs can, in principle, adopt orientations in which the plane of the macrocycle can range from perpendicular (edge-on) to parallel (face-on) at the interface. PAMs functionalized with six hydrophilic groups around the periphery do not prefer the face-on orientation and are most likely tilted, perhaps in a poorly organized state. PAMs that have spatially segregated hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups adopt the edge-on orientation when the hydrophilic moieties are carboxylate groups. In contrast, PAMs appended with acid moieties do not lead to stable ... |
