Abstract

The precipitation of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) was observed at biphasic phospholipid Langmuir monolayers with the aid of Brewster angle microscopy. COM appears preferentially at phase boundaries of a monolayer of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in a state of liquid expanded/liquid condensed coexistance. However, when the phase boundary is created by two different phospholipids that are phase segregated, such as DPPC and 1,2-dimiristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC), crystal formation occurs away from the interface. It is suggested that COM growth at phase boundaries is preferred only when there is molecular exchange between the phases.
