Abstract

A strong and broad hydrogen bonded O–H band around 3520 cm−1 is observed in the insoluble monolayer of the neutral liquid crystal molecules of 4″-n-pentyl-4-p-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and 4″-n-octyl-4-p-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) throughout the whole surface density range, but not in the 4-pentyl-4′-cyanoterphenyl (5CT) monolayer, at the air/water interface. This novel spectral feature suggests the existence of an oriented water cluster species which has penetrated or accommodated into the Langmuir monolayer of the 8CB and 5CB molecules. This finding provided a molecular level mechanism for the stark difference in the phase behaviour between the CB and CT insoluble Langmuir monolayers at the air/water interface. It also calls for attention to the details of the specific water–surface interaction in mediating the structure and the phase behaviour of the molecular assemblies at the heterogeneous aqueous interfaces.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
