Perfluoroalkyl compounds are known to exhibit a hydrophobic character on the surface of the material, although the CF bond has a large dipole, which should make the molecular surface polar and hydrophilic. This inconsistency has long been a chemical matter to be solved. Herein, a stratified dipole-arrays model is proposed: the molecular polar surface can be fully hidden by forming a two-dimensional aggregate of perfluoroalkyl (Rf) groups; this aggregate is spontaneously induced by dipole–dipole interaction arrays owing to the helical structure of the Rf group. In this model, a ‘short’ Rf group should play the role of a single Rf group with a hydrophilic character, whereas a ‘long’ Rf group should spontaneously form a hexagonal aggregate. To examine this model, Rf-containing myristic acids with various Rf lengths have been synthesized and their aggregation properties are analyzed by using the Langmuir monolayer technique aided by precise IR spectroscopic analysis.
