Abstract
Monolayers and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of 5,10,15,20-tetra-4-oxy (2-stearic acid) phenylporphyrin (TSPP) and its complexes TSPPCu(II) and TSPPMn(III)Cl have been studied. π– A isotherms show that the molecular areas of the three molecules are similar to one another, while the polarized UV-vis spectra of the transferred films show different tilt angles of macrocycles with respect to the substrates: TSPP, 31°; TSPPCu(II), 0°; TSPPMn(III)Cl, 52°. The UV-vis spectra show that the π– π interactions between porphyrin macrocycles in monolayers of these three porphyrins are different. The Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) observations suggest that the monolayer behavior is also dependent on the central metal ions. These results indicate that the central metal ions have great influence on the organization of the films.
