The behavior of monomolecular films of triglycerides on water was reinvestigated, and complete phase diagrams were derived. In conflict with earlier reports 4 different forms of coherent triglyceride monolayers were found, 3 of which are solid and 1 liquid expanded. Although the cross-sectional areas and transition points of the condensed phases of the monolayer are very similar to values observed for polymorphic forms of the 3-dimensional state, the molecular conformations are fundamentally different. This illustrates the dominating effect of the hydrocarbon chain packing on the physical properties, and the danger in relating structure in monomolecular films of complex lipids to 3-dimen- sional states on the basis of agreement between transition points and molecular cross-section areas only. When the monolayers are compressed beyond the collapse points the pressure remains stable until an area is reached which corresponds to a triple chain-length film. It is proposed that 2 types of molecular conformations occur in triglyceride multifilms on water, with the same conformation in the upper layers as in the crystalline state.
