Abstract: We present some basic criteria to obtain well-ordered Langmuir monolayers and of high surface densities. The fluorinated molecules such as C10F21CH2COOH and C11F23COOH appear as good candidates to fulfill these requirements. Independent, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and surface pressure isotherm measurements give an advantage to the first molecule. This may have some important practical applications in the surface modification of solid substrates (e.g. silicon wafers) by thin organic layers. Assuming that a water film is present on the solid substrate prior to deposition, the above comments on Langmuir monolayers strongly suggest that fluorinated silanes should form optimum grafted monolayers.
