Abstract

The 2-(4-hexadecylmethylamino)phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-oxy-3-oxide radical, which contains a long alkyl chain and a strong donor substituent conjugated with a nitronyl nitroxide group (an acceptor), was synthesized. The behavior of monolayers formed by this radical on a water surface and the conditions of their transfer onto solid substrates by the Langmuir-Blodgett method were examined. UV-VIS and IR spectroscopies, atomic force microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering were used to study the optical and structural characteristics of films prepared from the pure radical and its mixtures with behenic acid. It was revealed that radical aggregates are formed both in solutions and Langmuir-Blodgett films.
