Abstract
In recent years the self-assembling processes in some materials have become very important in connection with development of the nanometer-scale molecular technology. Calyxarenes are the molecules of just such a type. The possibility of thin evaporated and Langmuir-Blodgett calyxarene films swelling under the action of solvent molecules has been demonstrated previously. Some models of separate molecules complexing were proposed and theoretical models were developed to explain the effect of structural relaxation under the influence of solvent vapor. Here we present the results of our investigation of thin thermally deposited films of some calyxarenes and their derivatives treated in solvent vapors. The efficient modern methods, such as surface plasmon resonance, atomic force microscopy and quartz crystal microbalance, were used. Dramatic changes in optical constants and film morphology were observed. The numerical data analysis was performed and physico-chemical model was proposed to explain the results obtained and predict some new effects. Our results could be used in research and development of specially timed sorbents for electronic nose - a new and very promising kind of information devices.
