Transition Metal-Based Dimeric Metallosurfactants: From Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Structures and Low-Dimensional Magnets to Metallomicelles.

ABSTRACT: The dimeric (gemini) as well as metallosurfactants exhibit enhanced physicochemical properties compared with conventional surfactants. By uniting the benefits of both, a series of novel dimeric metallosurfactants of the type (12-2-12)[MBr₄] (M = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) was successfully prepared by the reaction of the dimeric surfactant bis(N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecyl)ethylene-1,2-diammonium dibromide, 12-2-12, and the MBr₂ salt. Structures and magnetic properties of the materials were studied comprehensively in the solid state, while their micellization was explored in solution. The obtained results unveil that the incorporation and the choice of transition metal more significantly influence surfactants' structures ((12-2-12)²⁺ cations adopt V-,
