By means of microgravimetry, UV-Vis spectroscopy and optic microscopy, sorption of pyridine, primary aliphatic amines and benzylamine by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of tetra-4-tert-butyl- and tetra-(3-nitro-5-tert-butyl)-substituted cobalt phthalocyanines (CoPc' and CoPc*, respectively) was studied over a broad concentration range. In general, sorption occurs as stepwise intercalation of the sorbate molecules into the supramolecular 3D structure of the phthalocyanine assembly followed by formation of the donor-acceptor complexes. Both intercalation depth and stoichiometry of the complexes are determined by the molecular structure of amines. The supramolecular factor allows discrimination between amines in air but not in aqueous solutions because of concurrent intercalation of water.

Hypothesis: Understanding the Langmuir film formation process of flexible and soft materials like graphene oxide (GO) is essential, as it shows different trends compared to the conventional surface pressure-area (π-A) and compressional modulus (ε) isotherms of hard materials. Additionally, the size distribution and mechanical properties of the GO are assumed to affect the distinctive Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film morphologies, such as overlaps and wrinkles.
Experiment: To gain a deeper insights of phase transitions in GO LB films, we propose a novel analysis of elastic tensile modulus versus surface pressure (|ε|-π) isotherms.

Poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) (PBCA) nanoparticles have numerous applications, including drug and gene delivery, molecular imaging, and cancer therapy. To uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying their interactions with cell membranes, we utilized a Langmuir monolayer as a model membrane system. This approach enabled us to investigate the processes of penetration and reorganization of PBCA nanoparticles when deposited in a phospholipid monolayer subphase.

The rapid development of information technology has put forward new requirements for multifunctional properties of transparent conductive films (TCFs) beyond their excellent optoelectrical performance. Despite the recent progress in the preparation of multifunctional films composed of TiCT MXenes, achieving highly uniform single-layer TiCT MXene films (SLMFs) with continuous and dense conductive pathways to realize multifunctional TCFs (M-TCFs) remains a significant challenge. Here, the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique is employed to assemble large TiCT MXene (LM) flakes (∼52 μm) into SLMFs with controlled stacking density and morphology, enabling the fabrication of M-TCFs with high conductivity and transparency simultaneously.

Article Synopsis
- Molecular magnets like Mn-ac might enhance spintronic materials due to their large spin moments, and this study explores integrating them with superconducting systems.
- In experiments using Nb micro-tracks with Mn-ac films, it was found that the presence of these molecular magnets improves vortex activation energy, potentially optimizing superconducting sensor performance.
- Additional experiments with a Nb nano-SQUID revealed that the Mn-ac film causes detectable voltage changes linked to magnetization tunneling, demonstrating the utility of molecular magnets in enhancing superconducting spintronic devices.

Control over the orientation of polycyclic aromatic dyes in thin films is paramount to tailoring their optical, electronic, and mechanical properties. Their supramolecular assembly in films is tuned here by converting the macrocyclic dyes to large amphiphiles. Two octaalkythio-substituted tetraazaporphyrins (TAPs) with one 5-carboxypentyl and one pentyl or dodecyl chain per pyrrole ring were synthesized as statistical mixtures of four regioisomers.
