Optical studies of the monolayer films of diazole-containing porphyrins at the air-water interface
Optical properties of the monolayers of 5-(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)-10,15,20-tris(p-octyloxy- phenyl)porphyrin, 5-(1-methylpyrazol-4-yl)-10,15,20-tris(p-octyloxyphenyl)porphyrin and their zinc(II) complexes have been studied. The pi-A isotherms and UV-vis spectra have revealed that the zinc(II) complexes form coordination assemblies between peripheral nitrogen atom and central zinc(II) ion at the air-water interface with Very tight molecular packing.
