In this research, We fabricated Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) ultra-thin films with (N-docosyl quinolinium)- TCNQ(1:2) complex. The characteristics ${\pi}$-A isotherms were studied to find optimum conditions of deposition by varing temperature of subphase, compression speed of barrier and amount of spreading solution. Film formation was verified by measuring transfer ratio, maximum absorption of UV-vis spectra, capacitance and ellipsometry. From the results, it was concluded that the LB film formed well with molecular oder was fabricated.

The N $O_{2}$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine (CuTBP), Dilithium phthalocyanine (Li$_{2}$Pc), N-docosylpyridinium TCNQ(C$_{22}$Py(TCNQ)), Polyamic acid alkylamine salts (PAAS). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of .pi.-.ALPHA. isotherms and the deposited film status was confirmed by electrical and optical methods such as UV/visible absortion spectra, thickness measurements by ellipsometry, and electrical capacitances. A response of the LB films to the N $O_{2}$ gas was measured by a change of the electrical conductivities when the film is exposed to the gases. The CuTBP LB film shows the biggest change of the electrical conductivities when it is exposed to the N $O_{2}$ gases. And the order of gas-detection performance is the following;Li$_{2}$Pc, $C_{22}$Py(TCNQ), and PAAS LB films. Especially, the CuTBP and Li$_{2}$Pc LB films not only show the bigger change in the electircal conductivities when exposed to the gas, but return to the original state when the gas is desorbed.d.
