General Information3-OCTADECANOYLPYRROLE is a surface-active pyrrole derivative which may be oxidised to form a highly conductive molecular monolayer which is an ideal material for electron microscopy substrates.1 It may be mixed with pyrrole and applied to a water surface containing ferric chloride (FeCl3). Langmuir-Blodgett techniques may be used to control the film produced.
3-OCTADECANOYLPYRROLE is supplied pure, as a powder. It should be refrigerated upon receipt, and stored at 2 - 8°C. Instructions for UseFormation of EM substrate films:1 Cast a solution of the pyrrole in ethyl acetate (0.0015 g/mL) onto an air-water interface where the water contains 1 wt % ferric chloride. Free pyrrole as a vapor is added to initiate polymerization (place both the solution and an open container of pyrrole under a bell jar); the films may be controlled by using dental floss to control their spread, or more effectively by using a Langmuir-Blodgett trough for their generation. Drop the grids onto the film, then pick them up, wash as for thin carbon films, and apply the sample as usual.
General: Detailed instructions for monolayer formation, oxidation and monolayer manipulation are described by Hong et al.2 Pure 3-OCTADECANOYLPYRROLE, or 1 : 300 or 1 : 5000 mixtures with pyrrole, are applied to the surface of a 1 wt % ferric chloride solution, then washed with deionized water and 5 % HCl after oxidation. Highly conducting films may be prepared by the method of Bocchi,3 using a solution of pure 3-OCTADECANOYLPYRROLE applied to the surface of a 10 wt % solution of ferric chloride. References
