Reactive and Rigid Monolayers of Bisaroyl Azide Diamide Bolaamphiphiles on Polyacrylonitrile Surfaces

Bolaamphiphiles

“…70 Rigid membranes on smooth surfaces have been reviewed under the title of "Molecular Landscapes". 85 The stiffness may be reached by either two parallelrunning hydrogen-bond chains between two secondary amide groups at the ends of hydrophobic cores made of oligomethylene chains 39,[86][87][88] or stiff hydrophobic units such as bridged carbocycles, stilbene, or biphenylene [89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96] (Figure 21a-d).…”

Anisotropic aggregation and phase transition in Langmuir monolayers of methyl/ethyl esters of 2,3-dihydroxy fatty acids

“…in an M-DHO molecule, it is easy to understand that M-DHO molecules can form various types of molecular aggregates via hydrogenbonding at the air-water interface (Fig. 10) [14][15][16][44][45][46][47][48]. Formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds could lead to the anisotropic growth of LC domains.…”

Rigid Lipid Membranes and Nanometer Clefts: Motifs for the Creation of Molecular Landscapes

“…[8,79] Rigidity only arises when two amide hydrogen bond chains run parallel to each other, [80] and both amide groups are located near the a and w positions of a longer alkyl chain. Secondary diamides are mostly used in analogy to protein sheets.…”
