We investigated the monolayer behavior at the air-water interface with metal solution, the surface morphologies and the electrical properties such as conductivity, The calculated conductivity values of pure water subphase and its complexes with L $i^{+}$ ions are 5.6$\times$10$^{-l6}$ and 1.9$\times$10$^{-14}$ [S/cm], respectively. And the calculated barrier height D values of pure water subphase and its complexes with Li. ions are 0.70 and 0.66 [eV], respectively. We also attempted to fabricate a crown dendrimer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films containing functional end group that could form a complex structure with metal ions. Also, we investigated the surface activity of dendrimer films at air-water interface. In AFM images. the larger domains irregularly shaped structures on the top while the smaller ones were free from such defects. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that the metal ion around dendrimer and polymer included crown function group can contribute to make formation of network structure among crown function group and result in change of electrical properties.s.s.

Photoisomerization characteristics of 4-octyl-4'-(5-carboxy-pentamethyleneoxy) azobenzene molecules (8A5H) were attained by measurement of absorbtion spectra. 8A5H in chroloform($6.0{\times}10^{-5}[M/l]$) shows trans to cis and cis to trans isomerization by irradiation of lights of 360[nm] and 450[nm] wavelength. From LB monolayer films of 8A5H, also the cis/trans photoisomerization was obtained and it has reversibility and memory characteristics. We are now trying to detect these properties of 8A5H electrically. On this paper, we investigated the structural changes of monolayer on the water surface by measuring the displacement current as a preliminary experiment. The measuring system was constructed at home-made Kuhn type LB(Langmuir-Blodgett) deposition apparatus. 8A5H solution was spreaded at the air-water interface and the currents induced by the dynamic behavior of molecules were measured when the molecules were pressed by barrier. The reversibility of displacement currents by compression and expansion was obtained from 8A5H molecules, which shows the compressed molecules have a tendency to disperse after the compression. From this experiment, we conclude that the behavior of molecules on water surface can be monitored electrically by using this current measuring method, and this method can also be applied to detect the photoisomerization of monolayers on water surface.
