Ferrocene derivative containing two long alkyl chains with hydrophilic carboxamide (1.1'-ferrocene-N-dioctadecyl carboxamide) was synthesized and a monolayer spread on water was investigated by means of surface pressure-area(π-A) isotherm. Phase transition from the expanded to the condensed monolayer was observed at surface areas of below 60 Å²/molecule. Using the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method, monolayer assemblies of the ferrocene derivative can be obtained. UV-visible spectra, together with current-voltage characteristics of the LB films, provide evidence for the arrangement of the ferrocene derivative molecule. By aligning hetero-LB films of TCNQ derivative, sensitizer and ferrocene derivative between ITO glass electrode and alumium layer, a molecular device with the structure of Meta1/Insulator/Metal (MIM) was constructed. A photocurrent with fast response time was generated by irradiation of the MIM device with a 340nm monochromatic light.
