title: Surfactants for CO2.
abstract: For some 15 years the attainment of efficient, nonfluorinated CO2-active surfactants has been a Holy Grail for researchers spanning pure and applied chemical sciences. This article tells the story of small-molecule CO2-active surfactants, from the first tentative observations with fluorinated compounds in 1991 up to recently discovered fluorine-free oxygenated amphiphiles.
