Abstract:
Molecular dynamics simulations of porphyrazine monolayers at the air-water interface have been carried out. All possible molecular orientations found by analysis of the π-A isotherms are reproduced by computer simulations. The existence of "guest-water" molecules has been observed in the simulation; this confirms the assumptions of experimentalists concerning this phenomenon.
