The interfacial recognition and sensing for metal ions by Langmuir monolayers are also shown. Langmuir monolayers and LB films as 2D template to induce the 2D-oriented crystal growth via metal/monolayer binding is especially demonstrated. The abnormal catalytic characteristics, the functions and devices of metal-incorporated Langmuir monolayers and LB films are displayed by some examples. The review also shows the application of metal-chelating lipid monolayers on the interfacial study of bio-macromolecules. The review suggests the great roles of metal/monolayer binding in alternating monolayer structures and the assembly of functional metal complexes.Read More
