Surface pressures and UV absorptionspectra of spread monolayers of azobenzene-containing long-chain fatty acids and their barium salts on the water surfacehave been simultaneously recorded as a function of surface area. The observed spectral changes upon compression have been discussed in con-nection with phase transitions and changes in theaggregation state of the azobenzene chromophores. Acids and their barium salts with an 8-carbon alkyl chain exhibit the phase transition from the liquid crystalline (fluid) to gel (two-dimensional-crystalline) phases with decreasing surface area. The com-pounds with a 12-carbon alkyl chain, however, are in the gel phase throughout the whole surface area examined. In the gel phase, all compounds form an-aggregate. In addition, UV absorption spectra of Langmuir-Blodgett films deposited on quartz plates have been measured and compared with those of the spread monolayers on the water surface.
