Novel electroactive Langmuir–Blodgett films based on an amphiphilic dibenzotetra-aza[14]annulene derivative

The preparation of stable monomolecular layers and semiconducting Langmuir–Blodgett films based on a copper(II)dibenzotetra-aza[14]annulene derivative is described; their in-plane conductivity was improved upon exposure to iodine vapour or aqueous potassium tri-iodide solution.
