The surface tension of the aqueous solution of 1H,1H,8H,8H-perfluorooctane-1,8-diol (FC(8)diol) was measured as a function of temperature and concentration under atmospheric pressure. The interfacial density and the entropy and energy of adsorption were evaluated and compared to those obtained for the adsorption of 1H,1H,10H,10H-perfluorodecane-1,10-diol (FC(10)diol) at the hexane solution/water interface. The surface tension curves show a break point corresponding to a phase transition of the adsorbed FC(8)diol film. The value of mean area per adsorbed molecule A just below the phase transition indicated the formation of a parallel condensed monolayer, and that above the phase transition suggested the spontaneous formation of a multilayer. The multilayer of FC(8)diol is less compressible and shows a smaller increase in layering with pi compared to FC(10)diol. This is probably because the surface force is repulsive for the hexane/FC/water interface, while it is attractive for the air/FC/water interface. The partial molar entropy change of adsorption is positive in the condensed FC(8)diol film, while it is negative in the condensed FC(10)diol film, which is reasonably explained in terms of the difference in entropy change accompanied by desolvation around the hydrophobic chain. From the viewpoints of the energetic stabilization accompanied by adsorption for the FC(8)diol system, the contribution from the replacement of air/water contact with air/fluorocarbon and fluorocarbon/water contacts and that from the molecular ordering in the adsorbed film is almost equal in case of the condensed monolayer, while in the multilayer the latter is comparatively larger than the former due to the hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups and the dispersion interaction among the ordered hydrophobic chains.
