The Langmuir monolayer behaviour of poly[(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy) phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) conducting polymer was investigated at air-water interface at different subphases containing anions. A uniform deposition of MEH-PPV monolayers was shown by UV-visible, electrochemical techniques, where the influence of anions on redox properties was investigated by cyclic voltammetric surveying. The nature of anions revealed significant changes in redox properties of the MEH-PPV LS films. The photoelectrochemical response of MEH-PPV LS conducting polymer was also investigated at length.
