    Abstract:
    A poly(heteroarylene methine) derivative, poly[(2,5-thiophenediyl) (p-n-methyl, n-octylaminobenzylidene) (2,5-thiophenequinodimethaneiyl)] (PTABQ), has been synthesized and spread at the air-water interface. The influences of three kinds of solutions on PTABQ monolayer behavior at the air-water interface have been investigated via the measurements of the pi-A isotherm and film stability. The results show that all three kinds of PTABQ solutions are apt to form the stable and transferable monolayer film organized with the plane of its pi-system nearly perpendicular to the air-water interface. Moreover, the monolayer-forming ability of PTABQ can be improved by introducing a water-soluble amphiphilie as an extractable spread-aiding component, which is further proved by the AFM images and FTIR spectra of the transferred films. UV-visible absorption spectra indicate that the well-ordered layer-by-layer structure is successfully controlled in the LB films. The optical bandgap of PTABQ is reduced for the ordered arrangement of its molecules in LB films. The intrinsic electrical conductivity of PTABQ LB films is 8.1 x 10(-8) S/cm and the conductivity of iodine-doped films is 5.7 x 10(-7) S/cm.
