Self-assembly of organic monolayers below the freezing threshold

One measure that arctic fish and amphibians use to minimize damage to cellular membranes during cooling and freezing processes is the production of cryo-protective substances. We have mimicked this biological "trick" by using the surface of a cryo-protectant as a liquid subphase for the pr...

520 |a One measure that arctic fish and amphibians use to minimize damage to cellular membranes during cooling and freezing processes is the production of cryo-protective substances. We have mimicked this biological "trick" by using the surface of a cryo-protectant as a liquid subphase for the preparation of organic membranes. Following this innovative approach, quasi two-dimensional amphiphilic monolayers were cooled to -40 degrees C at a liquid/gas interface. To date, the low temperature region of the generic phase diagram for alkane chain molecules has been only "virtually" accessible by tuning the molecular chain length. By extending the temperature range well below the freezing point of water, we gained new insights into membrane stability, morphology, and reorganization at low temperatures. Upon cooling relaxed monolayers at a surface pressure of 4.5 mN/m, we find a transition from a mesophase with tilted chains at ambient temperature toward a crystalline phase with upright chains at low temperatures. Structure factor calculations reveal that the chain alignment in the crystalline phase differs from the classical herringbone configuration
