An equation of state for a charged monolayer spread on an aqueous solution of a 1:1 electrolyte at 20°C in the absence of cohesive interactions has been derived, namely II = 2 kT / A-A o + 6.10√ c cosh sinh -1 133/ A √ c 6.10√ c . It has been found to apply to soluble charged films at hydrocarbon/water interfaces. In the case of insoluble monolayers of both alkyl quaternary ammonium halides and sodium alkyl sulphates at the hydrocarbon/water interface there is evidence of considerable ( ~50 %) ion-pair association, and this appears to be even further enhanced at the air/water interface at least for sulphate films. Surface potentials, measured by both the radioactive electrode and vibrating plate condenser techniques have been found to be in good agreement. The surface potential of sulphate monolayers in contrast to the ideal behaviour of quaternary ammonium films has been found to be dependent not only on the electrolyte concentration and film area but also on the nature of the interface, the nature of the substrate and at the air/water interface on the chain length. This has been attributed to a reorientation of the film molecules at the interface. Differences in the surface potential behaviour of sulphate and quaternary ammonium films are explained by suggesting that whereas with the sulphate film restricted rotation about the C—O bond can lead to different configurations of the sulphate ion with respect to the alkyl chain, only one configuration is possible for the symmetrical quaternary ammonium ion. Surface potential evidence indicates that contrary to what has been suggested previously, sulphate monolayers are completely dissociated in the acid-base sense.

Monomolecular films of 9-cis, 11-cis, 13-cis and all-trans retinal were formed at an air-water interface. Area/molecule and surface potential were measured before, during and after illumination. The initial quantum yield of the photoisomerization of 9-cis retinal was 0.25. Irradiation of a retinal monolayer resulted in 30 to 60 mVolt changes in surface potential. Complexation of retinals with lysine and cysteine were studied.

By means of adsorption and surface-potential studies on a series of R4−nN+Hn perchlorates at the air/water interface, the role of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interaction in the adsorption and ion distribution of these salts near the air/water interface is examined. While the adsorption of the alkylamine ions increases as n decreases from three to zero, inclusive, the surface-potential change accompanying the adsorption decreases. This effect is interpreted in terms of opposing hydrophilic, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the organic ion and water near the liquid surface, leading to a progressive change of double-layer ion distribution. In Part II, comparative studies of the same series of compounds at the Hg/water interface are reported.

Ferredoxin (Fd) is surface active; both its area/molecule, A, and surface potential, ΔV, (at an air-water interface) vary with the pH of the subphase. From the surface isotherms (at pH 7.7) A and ΔV are 167 A2 and 170 ± 20 mV, respectively, when the surface tension is 10 dyne/cm.Fd and chlorophyll a (Chl) appear to form a mixed monomolecular film. At pH 7.7 a maximum interaction between Fd and Chl is observed when the monolayer contains a mole ratio of Fd/Chl ≅ 2. Irradiaion of Chl-Fd films, in nitrogen atmosphere, results in a bleaching of Chl and an increase of ΔV. The quantum yield for this bleaching is estimated to be 0.4.
