Abstract

The structure formation of wedge-shaped monodendrons based on symmetric benzenesulfonic acid with different lengths of peripheral alkyl chains was studied in Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films. A phase transition from the liquid-expanded state to the liquid-condensed state was observed on compression of the Langmuir monolayers of the dendrons containing dodecyl lateral chains. The transition is accompanied by the formation of star-shaped aggregates visualized by Brewster angle microscopy. The three-layer LB transfer results in the reorganization of the monolayer into regions of bi-, tetra-, and hexalayers on a solid substrate with a low coverage of the surface. Homogeneous liquid-condensed mono layers are formed for the dendrons with hexa- and octadecyl chains, and the film thickness achieved by the LB transfer corresponds to the monolayer alignment of the molecules with the surface coverage up to 90%. It was determined that varying the alkyl length of wedge-shaped dendrones based on symmetric benzenesulfonic acid leads to a change in phase behavior of Langmuir monolayers as well as Langmuir–Blodgett films formed by them.
