Langmuir films of the title compound, 2,4-bis[4-(dibutylamino)phenyl]squaraine, Sq0, and its substituted analogues, Sq1 (monohydroxy) to Sq4 (tetrahydroxy), exhibit three well defined phases at the air–water interface: λmax 525–550 nm (H-aggregate); 660–670 nm (intermediate); 760–770 nm (J-aggregate). The monolayer spectra are influenced by the surface pressure and the number of hydroxy substituents and, when the monolayers are transferred to a solid substrate, there is a correlation between the linear and non-linear optical behaviour of the Langmuir-Blodgett films. Second-harmonic generation has been observed even though the unit molecular structures of two analogues, Sq0 and Sq4, are centric. The behaviour is aggregation-induced and there is evidence that the dyes associate in dilute solution. The electrospray ionization mass spectra exhibit peaks with high mass/charge (m/z) ratios; the data conform to the dimeric aggregate and, for solutions of two or more squaraines, corroborate the existence of heteromolecular associates.

Two iron complexes of a porphyrin dimer molecule were synthesized and studied at the air-water interface and in Langumir-Blodgett (LB) films. Surface pressure-area isotherm and UV-vis absorption spectroscopic studies revealed an interesting molecular switching behavior between the two iron porphyrin complexes under basic or acidic conditions. Such a reversible structural transition does not only occur in solution phase, but readily takes place in the deposited Langmuir-Blodgett films. Domains with strip or disk-like shapes were formed in the Langmuir films of the metalloporphyrin complexes when barbituric acid was added into the subphase, an indication of supramolecular network formation between the metalloporphyrin dimer and barbituric acid molecules. Magnetic property studies of the Langmuir-Blodgett films of the iron porphyrin complexes by magnetic force microscopy provide further insights into relationships between the magnetic response and molecular structures of the metalloporphyrin LB films.
