Abstract

The Langmuir-Blodgett films based on vanadyl phthalocyanine (NHSO2C18H37)4 were studied. By the method of piezoresonance quartz balance, the isotherms of adsorption of water, pyridine, and hexane on film surfaces were obtained. A structural phase transition in the Langmuir films of vanadyl phthalocyanine at about 313 K was revealed. The phase transition was observed in ultrathin films and disappeared as the number of layers increased.
