Photopolymerization in monolayers of an amphiphilic diacetylene derivative containing a ferrocene group
Abstract
The photopolymerization of heptadeca-2,4-diynylferrocenecarboxylate in the monolayer on a water surface was investigated by studying pressure–area isotherms and electronic spectra; the polymerization behaviour was found to depend markedly on the molecular packing in the monolayer.
