Abstract A triple-chain phospholipid monolayer at the air-water interface is investigated by means of grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GID). Analysis of the diffraction spot profiles parallel and perpendicular to the surface yields different ordered phases. On increasing the lateral pressure at different temperatures the hydrocarbon chains form tilted phases with a tilt toward the nearest neighbors and eventually a hexagonal lattice with vertical chain orientation.
