Design, synthesis and characterization of monomolecular interfacial layers.
We have designed a series of monomolecular films comprised of four basic structural motifs. We have used these films for a variety of purposes, ranging from support structures for chromophore arrays to the creation of selective and biomimetic interfaces. We will discuss the several different types of interfacial binding chemistry that are used in the construction of these interfacial films, for both monomeric and polymeric layer structures. Following a discussion of the construction of the adlayers, we describe several uses of these assemblies, in areas ranging from adsorption to optical signal processing, and the formation of biomimetic interfacial structures.
