Abstract

Abstract: The study of monolayers at the air-liquid interface offers unusual opportunities to investigate the effects of stereochemical factors in organized systems. As a first step toward developing this field, we have examined some surface properties of N-(a-methylbenzyl) stearamide, comparing the behavior of monolayer films of its racemic modification with its two enantiomeric forms and also with the achiral position isomer N-phenethylstearamide. ...
