Abstract:

The complexation of Fe(II) and Cu(II) ions by phenanthroline and terpyridine-based Langmuir films was studied by the effect the added ions in the subphase on the isotherms. We found that Cu(II) had a pronounced effect on the isotherm consisting of phenanthroline moieties forming a square-planar 1:2 (Cu(II)/phenanthroline) complex. However, Fe(II) affected the isotherm made of 1:1 phenanthroline/terpyridine amphiphiles as a result of forming a pentacoordinate complex.[on SciFinder (R)]
