X-ray analysis of some porphyrin and polymer Langmuir-Blodgett films

Abstract

Derivatives of mesoporphyrin IX dimethylester, poly(octadec-1-ene-maleic anhydride) and poly(styrene-maleic anhydride) have been prepared as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. Examining their layer structure using X-ray diffraction analysis has led to several interesting and important conclusions about their packing arrangement.
