| Popis: | In situ polarized infrared external reflection spectra of the Langmuir monolayer of zinc stearate on a water surface were recorded during surface pressure relaxation, and the molecular structure of the monolayer was evaluated. The wavenumber of the antisymmetric methylene stretching band decreased during surface pressure relaxation. This result indicated that the shift to a highly compact packing of the hydrocarbon chain in the Langmuir monolayer occurred on a time scale of several minutes. Moreover, a wavenumber change in the antisymmetric carboxylate stretching band was observed. The O–C–O angle of the carboxylate group and the binding nature of the zinc cation to the carboxylate group appeared to have changed during the relaxation. The orientation angle of the molecule and the time scale of relaxation mechanisms were also discussed. |
