N-n-Alkyl N,N-dimethylammonioacetic acid bromides: The first complete series of crystal and molecular structure determinations of an amphiphilic compound with alkyl chain lengths n = 1 ,..., 16
The molecular and crystal structures of 16 N-n-alkyl N,N-dimethylammonioacetic acid bromides with chain lengths between n = 1 and n = 16 have been determined. All compounds from n = 5 to n = 16 form bilayers with interdigitated chains. The even-numbered c
