| Résumé : | The adsorption of organic molecules at the electrochemical interface can result in the formation of highly ordered monolayers that are easily detected by the presence of two-dimensional (2D) phase transitions. This review is mainly concerned with the role played by the electrode substrate in the ordering and the disordering of 2D organic films made of nonelectroactive molecules. The current status of our knowledge is summarized by reporting recent experimental results obtained at various single-crystal electrodes and by emphasizing some fundamental advances made earlier at the mercury electrode. In particular, the kinetics of the adlayer ordering and disordering are discussed in some detail. |
