Polymerizable lipid analogues of diacetylenic phosphonic acids. Synthesis, spreading behaviour and polymerization at the gas-water interface

The subject of this paper is the synthesis and characterization of diacetylenic phosphonates as polymerizable, chemically stable lecithin analogues. One or both of the hydrophobic chains of the lipids contain a diacetylene moiety. The oxygen atoms between the glycerol backbone and the side groups ha...

Summary:The subject of this paper is the synthesis and characterization of diacetylenic phosphonates as polymerizable, chemically stable lecithin analogues. One or both of the hydrophobic chains of the lipids contain a diacetylene moiety. The oxygen atoms between the glycerol backbone and the side groups have been omitted to increase the chemical stability. The monolayer phase diagram at the air-water interface has been measured and the polymerization under UV-irradiation was investigated. These results are compared to the findings with unmodified polymerizable and non-polymerizable analogues.
