description

Fourteen cationic multipolar amphiphiles have been synthesized with pyridinium or trimethylammonium head groups. The hydrophobic cores are planar ring systems (benzene or triphenylene) to which two, three, four, or six decylene or undecylene alkyl chains are attached by ester linkages. The hydrophilic head groups are bound to the outer ends of the alkyl chains.
