Monolayer properties of these molecules, where long alkyl chain(s) were covalently bound through different functionality of varying hydrophilicity were studied by measuring surface pressure area isotherms. Such derivatives, where ether functionality (functionalities) was (were) used for linking long alkyl chain(s), did not form uniform monolayer; instead they were found to form multilayer clusters or aggregates on the water surface. On the other hand, porphyrin derivative functionalized at the four peripheral phenyl rings with eight hexadecyl ether chains formed stable spherical vesicles when deposited on mica. Tetra N-alkyl pyridinium porphyrins with long alkyl chain were found to form various phases on the water surface. Evidence of transition from horizontal orientation to vertical orientation of porphyrin rings of porphyrin molecules having C14 chains was observed. This type of transition was lost with the porphyrin molecule with a relatively smaller chain (C8).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.89

All these complexes behaved as an amphiphile and their surface properties were studied at the air–water interface by measuring surface pressure–area (Π–A) isotherms. The surface morphology of the resulting films at the air–water interface was also studied by using Brewster angle microscopy. Mean molecular areas of these complexes were measured from the Π–A isotherms, which were approximately 200 Å2, thereby indicating a parallel arrangement of the Ru–bipyridyl moiety of the complexes. Mono- and multilayer Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films were formed on different solid surfaces with transfer ratios close to one. Similarities in the absorption and fluorescence spectra of these amphiphiles in solution as well as in LB films deposited on a quartz surface confirmed the successful transfer of these films onto the substrates. The latter provided information about the arrangements of metallosurfactant molecules within the LB films. The two-dimensional concentrations of these films were calculated from the Lambert–Beer law as well as from the Π–A isotherm, which confirmed regular and reproducible transfer of the complex monolayers from the air–water interface onto the quartz surface. The surface morphology of these films on various substrates was characterised by atomic force microscopy. Furthermore, by oxidising the monolayer of complex 3, a one-input sequential logic gate was constructed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.00</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
