Abstract: The different types of cetyl β-naphthoate (NACE) molecule films were prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the films were investigated. In chloroform solution and solid state of NACE monomer fluorescence was observed. The fluorescence of excimer and excited dimer of NACE were also observed, besides the monomer fluorescence, in L-B films. It was found that the environment of the hydrophilic region in L-B films is changed when the films are processed with heat and water. This makes that the chemical and physical properties of hydrophilic groups in hydrophilic region were changed. The formation mechanism of the ground state dimer and excimer of NACE in L-B films was supposed.
