Specific structurization features of Langmuir monolayers including an amphiphilic cationic dye and a nonamphiphilic anionic one have been considered. Energy parameters defining the kinetic stability of those monolayers are discussed. A model of undissociated ionic pairs formed by amphiphilic and nonamphiphilic dye molecules has been proposed to describe the structurization processes.
