The 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole group as a functional unit with interesting physical and chemical properties is maintained, while the head group, the length of the alkyl chain and the structure of the coupling unit between aromatic and aliphatic part of these linear short-chain amphiphiles is systematically varied in order to explore the influence of this change on the film forming properties and the stability of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films. Molecular mechanics simulations are shown by these systematic variations to be suitable for the prediction of optimal chemical structures allowing for a stable stratified molecular packing. The combination of a detailed structure investigation of the multilayers based on scanning force microscopy and X-ray data with molecular mechanics simulations yields an insight into the packing of the molecules and the intermolecular interactions.}, language = {en} } @article{ReicheKnochenhauerDieteletal.1997, author = {Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Knochenhauer, Gerald and Dietel, Reinhard and Freydank, Anke-Christine and Zetzsche, Thomas and Pietsch, Ullrich and Brehmer, Ludwig and Barberka, Thomas Andreas and Geue, Thomas}, title = {Structure of thermally treated oxadiazoleamide Langmuir-Blodgett films}, year = {1997}, abstract = {The thermal treatment of Y-type Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films formed from the amphiphilic derivative of 2,5- diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole 1 results in changes of the molecular packing.

The crystalline structure induced by thermal treatment of the LB films is characterized by a uniaxial texture, which is correlated with the dipping direction during deposition of the LB film.}, language = {en} } @article{PenacoradaReicheZetzscheetal.1997, author = {Penacorada, Florencio and Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Zetzsche, Thomas and Dietel, Reinhard and Brehmer, Ludwig and Saja, Jose-Antonio de}, title = {Stabilisation of fatty acid mono- and multilayers by simultaneous polyelectrolyte complexation and salt formation with cadmium ions}, year = {1997}, abstract = {The complexation of highly ordered fatty acid monolayers with polyelectrolytes is expected to yield well- ordered Langmuir films suitable for the formation of Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers with improved long-term stability. Studies of the surface pressure-area isotherms and of the surface potential kinetics yield detailed information regarding the influence of these polymeric counterions on the monolayer properties. The injection of bivalent metal salts into the subphase after the complexation was used to improve the order and stability of the mono- and multilayers. The corresponding Langmuir-Blodgett films were investigated by means of X-ray reflectivity measurements and scanning force microscopy. The polyion complex multilayers show a strongly increased mechanical stability compared with films of fatty acid salts formed with bivalent metal ions. These structures are expected to be suitable as ultrathin separation layer for gas separation or ultrafiltration membranes.}, language = {en} } @article{SchulzBrehmerDietzeletal.1995, author = {Schulz, Burkhard and Brehmer, Ludwig and Dietzel, Birgit and Zetzsche, Thomas}, title = {Preparation and characterization of ordered thin films based on aromatic poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s}, year = {1995}, language = {en} } @article{ReicheZetzscheHelmsetal.1997, author = {Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Zetzsche, Thomas and Helms, Andreas and Freydank, Anke-Christine and Knochenhauer, Gerald and Schulz, Burkhard and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {Organized molecular films of oxadiazole compounds formed by vacuum deposition}, year = {1997}, language = {en} } @article{PenacoradaReicheDieteletal.1996, author = {Penacorada, Florencio and Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Dietel, Reinhard and Zetzsche, Thomas and Stiller, Burkhard and Knobloch, Harald and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {Monolayers and multilayers of uranyl arachidate : 2.

The pH range of the acid to salt conversion determined for the Langmuir films is confirmed by the infrared spectroscopic data of the multilayers.
