Interfacial nanostructures and acidichromism behaviors in self-assembled terpyridine derivatives Langmuir-Blodgett films

Metal-ligand coordination is one of the most important interactions in supramolecular assembly. Terpyridine compounds demonstrate strong metal coordination ability and can coordinate with many transition metal ions to form complexes with unique optical and electrochemical properties. In this work, new self-assembled Langmuir films of three synthesized terpyridine derivatives with different spacers were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)...
