Layer silicates and some other layer compounds can take up organic compounds such as long‐chain alkanols and alkylammonium ions with formation of ordered bimolecular films. This system enables new ideas to be developed concerning the structure of monomolecular and bimolecular films: the films form reversible kink‐block and gauche‐block structures. Conclusions can be derived about the structure of the lipid layers in membranes.
