The Langmuir–Blodgett method has been used to transfer mixed monolayers of a porphyrin (TMPyP) and a phospholipid (DMPA) from the air|water interface onto optically transparent indium–tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. The surface concentration of porphyrin, Γ, transferred on the ITO surface, has been obtained by integration of the reduction current from the cyclic voltammograms. The experimental Γ values ranged from Γ m =5.19×10 −11 mol cm −2 , and corresponding to a compact monolayer of porphyrin monomers in a plane orientation with respect to the surface, to Γ d =8.65×10 −11 mol cm −2 , and equivalent to the total amount of the porphyrin molecules at the air|water interface under a compression of 35 mN m −1 . Prior to the electrochemical experiments, the transmission spectrum was recorded. The surface concentration obtained of the porphyrin is not directly proportional to the transmission of the film, ΔT. This phenomenon is assigned to the dimer formation and, depending on the surface activity of the ITO electrodes, toward porphyrin adsorption. The dimer structure of TMPyP on an intact ITO electrode is altered with respect to that found at the air|water interface. A simple model has been developed to evaluate the contribution of monomer and dimer phases of the porphyrin in the mixed monolayer. Furthermore, spectroscopic measurements with linearly polarized light under oblique incidence have been performed in order to infer the plane orientation of the TMPyP molecules with respect to the ITO surfaces.
