Langmuir films composed of disc-shaped molecules (rather than traditional amphiphiles) are briefly reviewed. The molecules investigated typically have a flat, conjugated core and flexible side chains, such as the triphenylene derivatives shown in the Figure. Information obtainable from pressure–area isotherms is discussed and the techniques suitable for direct structural studies are mentioned.
