Formation of Monolayer Lipid Membranes in Water and Ethanol from Bolaamphiphiles.
Three single-chain bolaamphiphiles containing two salicylidene units per molecule as the rigid segment were synthesized. Their aggregation behavior in water and ethanol has been studied. They can form monolayer membranes not only in water solution but also in pure ethanol. The presence of a relatively short methylene chain as a spacer at the center of the molecule has a dramatic influence on the morphology of the aggregates formed. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
