Thin films of oleic acid were prepared with Langmuir method and also by spreading it with a glass rod on Pb, Zn Cd, Sn, Sb, Ag, Ni, Fe, Cr, Al and Cu, and were examined by electron diffraction.
It is concluded that the molecules of metallic oleates stand normal to the surfaces irrespective of the kind of metal though the arrangement of the molecules is somewhat imperfect on some metals. Among many cases examined, the arrangement on Cu is most perfectly maintained to the thickness of about 40 molecular layers.
