Previous wettability studies had led to the conclusion that unusually low wettability might be expected of a surface com-prising close-packed polar molecules containing terminally substituted trifluoromethyl groups. Terminally fluorinated octadecylamine and the corresponding acid were proposed as suitable compounds with which this concept might be realized. Condensed monolayers of terminally fluorinated octadecyl derivatives were prepared on platinum surfaces by adsorption from solution and isolation by the withdrawal method. Comparisons were made of the adsorptivebehavior of,,-tri-fluorooctadecylamine with that of octadecylamine and between,,-trifluorostearic acid and stearic acid. Much longer times of film formation were required by trifluorooctadecylamineto attain adsorption equilibrium than by the other three polar compounds. Hydrophobic monolayers of the fluorinated amine were isolated readily from aqueous solution but ap-plication of the same methods to the fluorinated acid was not successful. The introduction of the trifluoromethyl group caused a smaller decrease in the wettability than would have been expected from a comparison with the behavior of the perfluoroalkanoic acids. Monolayers of trifluorooctadecylamine were somewhat more wettable by organic liquids than were those oftrifluorostearic acid; also, whereas the former monolayer was hydrophobic, the latter was hydrophilic. Themechanism of adsorption of the film and the relation of the constitution of the film to its wettability are discussed. On the basis of both steric and electrical considerations, it is concluded that the introduction of the strong electric dipole associated with the CEVCHa-group is sufficient to offset or nullify the advantage initially expected to result from the introduction of the trifluoromethyl group.
