Abstract
The stabilization of lecithin layer physically adsorbed on the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) using addition of Yb3+ to the aqueous phase was studied using cyclic voltammetry. Stability of this layer was evaluated according to the time of the layer formation; the optimal time amounted to 180 s. The stability of the layer as a function of the potential applied on the system during the layer formation was investigated. The behavior of the monolayer during the layer polarization was studied by the facilitated K+ transport using dibenzo-18-crown-6. The stoichiometry of Yb/anion/lecithin complexes was investigated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS).
