| Description | It has long been realized (1) that metal ions added to the subphase under monolayer films of fatty acids can be incorporated into Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer and multilayer films. Divalent metal ions crosslink the carboxylate groups and are often used to enhance the stability of transferred films (2–4). The difference in solubility between a free acid and its metal salt was used by Blodgett to produce films with a tunable refractive index through a process termed skeletonization (5). The free acid molecules of a partially ionized film were dissolved away with an organic solvent, leaving behind a skeletonized film of metal carboxylate with an enhanced porosity and a reduced refractive index. The influence of metal ions on the film can be detected at the air-water interface by changes in the pressure versus area isotherms (2), and recently the different surface structures that form have been probed using synchrotron radiation (6). Pressure-pH phase diagrams clearly show changes in film structure as metal ions are incorporated (6). Headgroup-headgroup interactions change as the pH is varied and metal ions bind at the interface, leading to changes in the packing of the alkyl tails.
