Abstract
Abstract A series of polyphenyl carboxylic acids with 3–6 uncondensed benzene rings and some of their analogues with a nitro and/or cyano group were synthesized and investigated at the air-water interface. They all can be treated as substituted m-terphenyls. It is determined that a system with at least four phenyl groups with the carboxyl group at a peripheral position are a prerequisite for the ability of monolayer formation. Their isotherms exhibit a large plateau attributed to the formation of bilayers.
