Notes:
-A novel, single-chained ammonium amphiphile that carries an o-hydroxyazobenzene unit at the terminus of its hydrophobic chain has been synthesized. This compound forms ordered thread-like aggregates upon dispersion in water. These aggregates exhibit a phase transition at 56 °C. The o-hydroxyazobenzene unit binds several transition-metal ions in a 2:1 stoichiometry. Binding of these metal ions results in a lowering of the critical aggregation concentration. From the changes in the UV absorption spectrum it is concluded that the Cu2+ complex forms more tightly packed aggregates in water than the Zn2+ and Ni2+ complexes.
