The first example of deposition of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of a manganese complex of corrole is described. Characterization of the morphological and molecular structure of these LB films has been carried out by means of different microscopic and spectroscopic methods. Depositions onto different substrates afford very uniform films of determined thickness; all the experiments carried out suggest that manganese correlates in LB films are normally oriented to the substrate, with a face-to-face packing of the macrocycles, due to pi-pi interactions. The interactions of these LB films with different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been investigated using the quartz microbalance (QMB) technique.

Abstract
The first example of deposition of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of a manganese complex of corrole is described. Characterization of the morphological and molecular structure of these LB films has been carried out by means of different microscopic and spectroscopic methods. Depositions onto different substrates afford very uniform films of determined thickness; all the experiments carried out suggest that manganese correlates in LB films are normally oriented to the substrate, with a face-to-face packing of the macrocycles, due to pi-pi interactions. The interactions of these LB films with different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been investigated using the quartz microbalance (QMB) technique.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
