摘要：In this paper, four organic-inorganic hybrid complexes were prepared using a cationic surfactant dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DODA) to replace the counter cations of four Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) clusters with gradually increased negative charges, PW12O403-, SiW12O404-, BW12O405-, and CoW12O406-. The formed surfactant-encapsulated POM (SEP) complexes showed typical amphiphilic properties and can be spread onto the air-water interface to form Langmuir monolayers. The interfacial behavior of the SEP monolayer films was systemically studied by multiple in situ and ex situ characterization methods including Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), reflection-absorption infrared (RAIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We found that the increasing alkyl chain density of SEPs leads to an enhanced stability and a higher collapse pressure of SEP Langmuir monolayers. Moreover, a second layer evolved as patterns from the initial monolayers of all the SEPs, when the surface pressures approached the collapse values. The rational combination of alkyl chain density and surface pressure can precisely control the size and the morphology of SEP patterns transforming from disk-like to leaf-like structures on a micrometer scale. The pattern formation was demonstrated to be driven by :he self-optimized surface energy of SEP monolayers. This finding can direct a new strategy for the fabrication of POM-hybrid films with controllable patterns, which should be instructive for designing POM-based thin film devices.
