Class I explored the effects of the number of donor-acceptor groups on the porphyrin periphery (i.e., H$\\rm\\sb2(an\\sb3P), H\\sb2$(cis-a$\\rm\\sb2n\\sb2$P), H$\\rm\\sb2(a\\sb3$nP), H$\\rm\\sb2(a\\sb4$P) where a = 4-(N-octadecylamido)phenyl or 4-(N-octadecyl-amino)phenyl; n = 4-nitrophenyl; P = 5,10,15,20 substituted tetraarylporphyrinate (2-).). Class II examined the effect of varying the strength of cis-substituted donor-acceptor pairs on the porphyrin periphery (i.e., H$\\sb2$(cis-a$\\rm\\sb2n\\sb2$P), H$\\sb2$(cis-c$\\rm\\sb2p\\sb2$P), and H$\\sb2$(cis-h$\\rm\\sb2py\\sb2$P) where c = 4-(2-cholesteryloxy)-ethoxyphenyl; h = 4-hydroxyphenyl or 4-methoxyphenyl; and py = 4-pyridyl or 4-(N-octadecyl) pyridiniumyl).

Characterization of the porphyrin LB films reveals rather surprising behavior. The isotherm data show that the mean molecular area of the porphyrins increase smoothly from 80-200A as the number of aliphatic chains increase around the porphyrin periphery from one to four. In addition, based on UV-visible linear dichroism, all of the porphyrin films possess C$\\rm\\sb{\\infty v}$ symmetry and adopt a tilt angle, $\\theta$, of about 33$\\sp\\circ$ with respect to the fused quartz substrate. The proposed fixed orientation model suggests that the interporphyrin $\\pi$-$\\pi$ interactions dominate the porphyrin orientation while the number of aliphatic chains around the porphyrin periphery determines the porphyrin's packing density in the LB film.
