Abstract

It is shown that temperature increase and shortening of the surfactant alkyl chain length result in an increase of the content of infinite ‘linear’ 1D clusters leading to dendritic structure of the monolayer formed at the air/water interface. The preferential formation of the associates comprising of dimers with ‘parallel’ orientation of the hydrophilic head groups of N-acylsubstituted alanine gives rise to the formation of ‘linear’ 1D clusters. This is caused by the loss of СН•••НС interactions between ‘sequentially’ orientated molecules with voluminous hydrophilic parts despite almost equal destabilizing increment of the both types of head group interactions in the clusterization Gibbs’ energy.
