Abstract
We report the synthesis of a functional molecule, a quatertiophene-based surfactant, which can both adsorb at the water/gas interface (surface active molecule) and aggregate through π-π stacking interactions. We assess then the ability of this molecule to create these functionalities at interfaces. This interfacial functional aggregation, characterized here <i>in situ</i> for the first time, is probed thanks to Langmuir trough experiments and spectrometric ellipsometry. These results pave the way to the design of new water based optoelectronic devices.
