Abstract
Spreading of the bolaamphiphile alpha,omega-docosanediol, HO(CH2)(22)O H, on water results in spontaneous aggregation into embryonic 3-D crys tallites. These crystallites have been analyzed by cryo-transmission e lectron microscopy, scanning force microscopy, X-ray reflectivity, and external reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The mole cules are aligned in an almost perpendicular fashion in a rectangular cell, and the crystallites are about five molecular layers thick.
