Abstract

Abstract: A new family of amphiphiles, derived from a rigid dicarboxylic acid headgroup unit of unusual topology, has been synthesized. The aggregation of these molecules in aqueous solution has been examined by'Hnmr and dye solubilization methods. Two modes of aggregation appear to be operative within this group of amphiphiles, one determined by the headgroup and the other determined by the flexible tail. The former mode is dominant ...
