Progress in the understanding of interfacial molecular recognition kinetics is obtained by use of the sweeping technique for experimental studies of the reaction kinetics between a host monolayer and a non-surface-active species dissolved in the aqueous subphase. The experimental results show that the interfacial recognition reaction between a 2C(11)H(23)-melamine (2,4-di(n-undecylamino)-6-amino-1,3,5-triazine) monolayer and dissolved barbituric acid is reversible when the 2C(11)H(23)-melamine/barbituric acid monolayer is transferred back onto a pure water subphase. The kinetics of the recognition and dissociation reaction is experimentally and theoretically investigated. The approximate additive theoretical model developed recently is extended to consider the dissociation kinetics of the interfacial supramolecular complex. The kinetic constants for the recognition and dissociation reactions in the mixed monolayer consisting of 2C(11)H(23)-melamine and 2C(11)H(23)-melamine/barbituric acid complex are determined. It is shown that the kinetic constant of the recognition reaction is nearly independent of temperature, whereas that of the dissociation reaction increases with increasing temperature.
