Abstract
The crystal structure of a protonated tripodal lipophilic amide, N-{2-[bis( 2-octanoylaminoethyl)amino]ethyl}octanamide, identified an elegantly archit ected bilayer hydrogen bonded structure consisting of ladder-like cascades of the amide, with the rungs comprised of the lipophilic tails pointing inw ard and the poles made up of polar quaternary ammonium heads lining channel s filled with nitrate ions.
