Organic/Inorganic Langmuir-Blodgeti Films Based on Metal Phosphonates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) bilayers of organophosphonic acids can be prepared where the phosphonic acid headgroups bind metal ions to form the same layered extended-solid structures present in solid-state metal phosphonates. The inorganic extended-solid network enhances the stability of the LB films, but can also be designed to introduce physical properties, such as magnetism, that are typical of the inorganic solid-state. By preparing films based on functionalized organophosphonic acids, the metal phosphonate approach can be used to produce “dualnetwork” LB films, where both the organic and inorganic networks add function to the thin film assembly. To begin to understand the design constraints associated with dual-network metal phosphonate films, LB bilayers of a phosphonic acidderivatized azobenzene amphiphile are formed with Cd2+ and La3+ and the structures are compared to octadecylphosphonate LB films prepared with the same metals.
