Spectroscopic probe of metal complexation of imidazole in the Langmuir monolayer
An imidazole ring containing amphiphilic molecule, N-[2-(4-imidazolyl) ethyl] 11-mercaptoundecanamide (IMA) was synthesized and constructed into a Langmuir monolayer at the air-water interface to monitor the specific interaction of imidazole residue with metal ions in the subphase.
