Abstract
Contemporary research concerning surfactant science and technology comprises a variety of requirements relating to the design of surfactant structures with widely varying architectures to achieve physicochemical properties and dedicated functionality. Such approaches are necessary to make them applicable to modern technologies, such as nanostructure engineering, surface structurization or fine chemicals, e.g., magnetic surfactants, biocidal agents, capping and stabilizing reagents or reactive agents at interfaces. Even slight modifications of a surfactant's molecular structure with respect to the conventional single-head-single-tail design allow for various custom-designed products. Among them, multicharge structures are the most intriguing. Their preparation requires specific synthetic routes that enable both main amphiphilic compound synthesis using appropriate step-by-step reaction strategies or coupling approaches as well as further derivatization toward specific features such as magnetic properties. Some of the most challenging aspects of multicharge cationic surfactants relate to their use at different interfaces for stable nanostructures formation, applying capping effects or complexation with polyelectrolytes. Multiheaded cationic surfactants exhibit strong antimicrobial and antiviral activity, allowing them to be implemented in various biomedical fields, especially biofilm prevention and eradication. Therefore, recent advances in synthetic strategies for multiheaded cationic surfactants, their self-aggregation and performance are scrutinized in this up-to-date review, emphasizing their applications in different fields such as building blocks in nanostructure engineering and their use as fine chemicals.

Abstract
This paper was intended to efficiently extract multiclass prohibited substances in human sport drug testing by using supramolecular solvents (SUPRASs) made up of cubosomes. These SUPRASs, here first reported, are synthesized by the salt-induced coacervation of 1,2-hexanediol in urine. The formation of square and rounded cubosomes with a size range of 140-240 nm was confirmed by electron microscopy. These nanostructures consisted of 1,2-hexanediol, salt, and a high water content (36-61%, w/w). Their applicability in multiclass determinations was investigated by the extraction of 92 prohibited substances (log P from 2.4 to 9.2) belonging to the 10 categories of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) list. Variables influencing both recoveries and matrix effects were optimized. Cubosomic SUPRASs showed high extraction efficiency and interference removal capability, which was attributed to their large hydrophilicity and surface area. Both features were superior to those of the other 11 SUPRASs that were based on sponge droplets and inverted hexagonal aggregates and to those of conventional organic solvents. A sport drug-testing method based on cubosomic SUPRAS-LC-ESI-MS/MS was proposed and validated. Around 82-95% of drugs were efficiently extracted (recoveries 70-120%) in urine samples, and 81-92% did not present matrix effects. The method detection limits (0.001-4.2 ng mL-1) were all far below WADA's limits. The proposed SUPRAS-based sample treatment is as simple as QuEChERS, but the distinctive features of cubosomes confer them high capability in multiclass determinations.

Abstract
Supramolecular solvents (SUPRASs) are gaining momentum in the multi-residue analysis of liquid samples thanks to the delimited hydrophilic and hydrophobic microenvironments in their nanostructures. In this work, SUPRASs with increased hydrophilicity were synthesized with the aim of enhancing the extractability of polar compounds. For this purpose, a double-headed amphiphile, 1,2-decanediol, was self-assembled in hydro-organic media in the presence and absence of sodium chloride. The SUPRASs formed, characterized by scanning electron microscopy, consisted of sponge droplets made up of a highly convoluted three-dimensional (3D) network of amphiphile. The network contained interconnected bilayers that were intersected by similarly interconnected aqueous channels with high and nearly constant water content (∼30%, w/w). Both the inherently open structure of the sponge morphology and the increased hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of the amphiphile, provided highly hydrophilic microenvironments into the aggregates that rendered in increased recovery factors for 15 perfluorinated compounds (PFCs, C4-C18, log Pow values from 0.4 to 11.6) in natural waters. Extraction took 15 min without further clean-up or evaporation of extracts which were readily compatible with LC-MS/MS quantitation. Absolute recoveries for PFCs, at the level of a few ng L-1, were in the range 70-120%, except for perfluoropentanoic acid (40%) and perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (51%). Detection limits for PFCs in water were in the range 0.01-0.02 ng L-1, which allowed their determination in slightly polluted waters (0.07-2.33 ng L-1). This work proves that hydrophilicity in SUPRASs can be tailored through the amphiphile and the morphology of their aggregates, and that this characteristic improves compound extractability in multi-residue analysis.

Abstract
Self-assembly of multiheaded surfactants in aqueous solutions has been investigated using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The model multiheaded surfactants contain multiple head groups ranging from one to four for a single tail group. Increase in the number of charged head groups has substantial consequences in the aggregation properties of surfactants in their aqueous solutions. Polydisperse aggregates of surfactants are formed in the aqueous solution. The shape and size of the aggregates are dictated by the number of charged head groups present in the surfactant. Our simulations demonstrate that with the increase in the number of charged head groups on the surfactants, the aggregation number decreases, which corroborates previous experimental and theoretical studies. Though experimental studies on the surfactant with four head groups is yet to be performed, we have included the surfactant having four head groups in our studies and compared the results with previous coarse-grained computational study involving four head groups.

Abstract
Two novel series of tris-cationic, tripled-headed, double-tailed amphiphiles were synthesized and the effects of tail length and head group composition on the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), thermodynamic parameters, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against six bacterial strains were investigated. Synergistic antibacterial combinations of these amphiphiles were also identified. Amphiphiles in this study are composed of a benzene core with three benzylic ammonium bromide groups, two of which have alkyl chains, each 8-16 carbons in length. The third head group is a trimethylammonium or pyridinium. Log of critical aggregation concentration (log[CAC]) and heat of aggregation (ΔHagg) were both inversely proportional to the length of the linear hydrocarbon chains. Antibacterial activity increases with tail length until an optimal tail length of 12 carbons per chain, above which, activity decreased. The derivatives with two 12 carbon chains had the best antibacterial activity, killing all tested strains at concentrations of 1-2μM for Gram-positive and 4-16μM for Gram-negative bacteria. The identity of the third head group (trimethylammonium or pyridinium) had minimal effect on colloidal and antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of several binary combinations of amphiphiles from this study was higher than activity of individual amphiphiles, indicating that these combinations are synergistic. These amphiphiles show promise as novel antibacterial agents that could be used in a variety of applications.

Abstract
A series of 34 amphiphilic compounds varying in both number of quaternary ammonium groups and length of alkyl chains has been assembled. The synthetic preparations for these structures are simple and generally high-yielding, proceeding in 1-2 steps without the need for chromatography. Antibacterial MIC data for these compounds were determined, and over half boast single digit MIC values against a series of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. MIC variation mostly hinged on the length of the alkyl chain, where a dodecyl group led to optimal activity; surprisingly, the number of cations and/or basic nitrogens was less important in dictating bioactivity. Additional structural variation was prepared in a trisamine series dubbed 12,3,X,3,12, providing a series of potent amphiphiles functionalized with varied allyl, alkyl, and benzyl groups. Tetraamines were also investigated, culminating in a two-step preparation of a tetracationic structure that showed only modestly improved bioactivity versus amphiphiles with two or three cations.

Abstract
We investigate a non-ionic surfactant (C(12)E(8))/water binary mixture, over a wide range of concentrations and temperatures (i.e. 1-35 wt.% of C(12)E(8) and 10-60 °C in temperature) by means of different experimental techniques: Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), Quasi Elastic Light Scattering (QELS) and High Frequency Rheology. The aims of this work are to provide information on structure, thermodynamics and dynamics of the isotropic phase of such a micellar system and, by combining these different types of information, to obtain a comprehensive image of the behaviour of this phase. Our results demonstrate that structural, thermodynamic and dynamic properties of these solutions are fully monitored by the temperature-induced changes in the ethylene-glycol chain hydration. They confirm that C(12)E(8) micelles are spherical and do not grow in the investigated range of concentrations and temperatures. They demonstrate that the interaction potential between C(12)E(8) micelles is more complicated than what was previously described, with an additional repulsive interaction. They allow us to put forward explanations for the Isotropic-Ordered phase transition as well as for the temperature behaviour of the viscosity of C(12)E(8) micellar solutions. Our investigation provides new and valuable information on the dynamics of these mixtures that reflect the complexity of the interaction potential between the C(12)E(8) micelles. It shows that concentrated solutions exhibit a viscoelastic behaviour that can be described by a simple Maxwell model.

Abstract
Novel supra-long chain surfactants with double or triple quaternary ammonium salts (C(n)-2Am, C(n)-3Am, in which n represents a hydrocarbon chain length of 18, 20, and 22) were synthesized, and electrical conductivity and surface tension were used to characterize their properties depending on both the hydrocarbon chain length and number of hydrophilic groups. The Krafft temperatures decreased remarkably with an increase in the quaternary ammonium headgroups, resulting in a high solubility in water. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) increased with an increase in the number of quaternary ammonium moieties in the hydrophilic group, and the difference in the cmc was smaller for C(n)-2Am and C(n)-3Am than for C(n)-2Am and C(n)-Am of alkyltrimethylammonium bromide. The surface tension at the cmc was approximately 45 and 48 mN m(-1) for C(n)-2Am and C(n)-3Am with n=18-22, respectively. This indicated that the supra-long chain surfactants could not efficiently adsorb at the air/water interface and orient by themselves, as is known for conventional surfactants.

Abstract
Surfactants containing more than one head group are known to exhibit a wide range of interesting properties as they undergo aggregation in water. The correlation between the molecular structure of these surfactants and their properties (for example, critical micellar concentration, aggregation number, morphology, counterion dissociation, fractional charge, etc.) can provide useful information to define the structure-activity relationship. The influence of the number of head groups on the surfactant aggregation is further evident from interesting interfacial behavior, seen in biological applications. This Perspective highlights recent trends in surfactant aggregation effects and focuses on emerging challenges in the field.

Abstract
Click chemistry has been successfully extended into the field of molecular design of novel amphiphatic adducts. After their syntheses and characterizations, we have studied their aggregation properties in aqueous medium. Each of these adducts forms stable suspensions in water. These suspensions have been characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The presence of inner aqueous compartments in such aggregates has been demonstrated using dye (methylene blue) entrapment studies. These aggregates have been further characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), which indicates the existence of bilayer structures in them. Therefore, the resulting aggregates could be described as vesicles. The temperature-induced order-to-disorder transitions of the vesicular aggregates and the accompanying changes in their packing and hydration have been examined using high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence anisotropy, and generalized polarization measurements using appropriate membrane-soluble probe, 1,6-diphenylhexatriene, and Paldan, respectively. The findings of these studies are consistent with each other in terms of the apparent phase transition temperatures. Langmuir monolayer studies confirmed that these click adducts also form stable monolayers on buffered aqueous subphase at the air-water interface.

Abstract
A series of isomeric cationic surfactants (S1-S5) bearing a long alkyl chain that carries a 1,4-phenylene unit and a trimethyl ammonium headgroup was synthesized; the location of the phenyl ring within the alkyl tail was varied in an effort to understand its influence on the amphiphilic properties of the surfactants. The cmc's of the surfactants were estimated using ionic conductivity measurements and isothermal calorimetric titrations (ITC); the values obtained by the two methods were found to be in excellent agreement. The ITC measurements provided additional insight into the various thermodynamic parameters associated with the micellization process. Although all five surfactants have exactly the same molecular formula, their micellar properties were seen to vary dramatically depending on the location of the phenyl ring; the cmc was seen to decrease by almost an order of magnitude when the phenyl ring was moved from the tail end (cmc of S1 is 23 mM) to the headgroup region (cmc of S5 is 3 mM). In all cases, the enthalpy of micellization was negative but the entropy of micellization was positive, suggesting that in all of these systems the formation of micelles is both enthalpically and entropically favored. As expected, the decrease in cmc values upon moving the phenyl ring from the tail end to the headgroup region is accompanied by an increase in the thermodynamic driving force (ΔG) for micellization. To understand further the differences in the micellar structure of these surfactants, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements were carried out; these measurements reveal that the aggregation number of the micelles increases as the cmc decreases. This increase in the aggregation number is also accompanied by an increase in the asphericity of the micellar aggregate and a decrease in the fractional charge. Geometric packing arguments are presented to account for these changes in aggregation behavior as a function of phenyl ring location.

Abstract
Lipids are amphiphilic molecules that are composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. A typical membranous aggregate (vesicles, water-filled lipid nanospheres) is formed upon the self-organization of lipids in water from a diverse collection of amphiphiles producing a dynamic supramolecular structure that shows phase behavior and ordering as required for specific biological functions. The determination of various physical properties of lipid aggregates is the key to determining structure-function relationships. Over the years, we have designed and synthesized a wide variety of lipid molecular systems for the investigation of their membrane-forming properties and have used them for purposes such as gene delivery and enzyme activation. In this feature article, we focus on our work on various types of lipids including ion-paired amphiphiles, cholesterol-based lipids, aromatic lipids, macrocyclic lipids containing disulfide tethers, cationic dimeric lipids, and so forth. The emphasis is on experimental design and bottom-line conclusions.

Abstract
The aggregation property of multiheaded surfactants has been investigated by constant pressure molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in aqueous medium. The model multiheaded surfactants contain more than one headgroup (x = 2, 3, and 4) for a single tail group. This increases the hydrophilic charge progressively over the hydrophobic tail which has dramatic consequences in the aggregation behavior. In particular, we have looked at the change in the aggregation property such as critical micellar concentration (cmc), aggregation number, and size of the micelles for the multiheaded surfactants in water. We find with increasing number of headgroups of the multiheaded surfactants that the cmc values increase and the aggregation numbers as well as the size of the micelles decrease. These trends are in agreement with the experimental findings as reported earlier with x = 1, 2, and 3. We also predict the aggregation properties of multiheaded surfactant with four headgroups (x = 4) for which no experimental studies exist yet.

Abstract
New supramolecular organogels based on all-trans-tri(p-phenylenevinylene) (TPV) systems possessing different terminal groups, e.g., oxime, hydrazone, phenylhydrazone, and semicarbazone have been synthesized. The self-assembly properties of the compounds that gelate in specific organic solvents and the aggregation motifs of these molecules in the organogels were investigated using UV-vis, fluorescence, FT-IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and rheology. The temperature variable UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in different solvents clearly show the aggregation pattern of the self-assemblies promoted by hydrogen bonding, aromatic pi-stacking, and van der Waals interactions among the individual TPV units. Gelation could be controlled by variation in the number of hydrogen-bonding donors and acceptors in the terminal functional groups of this class of gelators. Also wherever gelation is observed, the individual fibers in gels change to other types of networks in their aggregates depending on the number of hydrogen-bonding sites in the terminal functions. Comparison of the thermal stability of the gels obtained from DSC data of different gelators demonstrates higher phase transition temperature and enthalpy for the hydrazone-based gelator. Rheological studies indicate that the presence of more hydrogen-bonding donors in the periphery of the gelator molecules makes the gel more viscoelastic solidlike. However, in the presence of more numbers of hydrogen-bonding donor/acceptors at the periphery of TPVs such as with semicarbazone a precipitation as opposed to gelation was observed. Clearly, the choice of the end functional groups and the number of hydrogen-bonding groups in the TPV backbone holds the key and modulates the effective length of the chromophore, resulting in interesting optical properties.

Abstract
Novel multi-dentate surfactants, based on alkyl amines of varying hydrophobicity were synthesized, and molecular structures were characterized by IR, UV-vis, NMR and FAB-MS. The new surfactants have good water solubility and are highly efficient at reducing aqueous surface tension. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies were carried out with aqueous solutions in D(2)O to study aggregation. Spherical micelles were shown to form, and these grow with increasing alkyl chain length; their conformation is unusual compared to conventional linear chain surfactants.

Abstract
Clouding phenomenon in aqueous micellar solutions of an anionic surfactant tetra-n-butylammonium dodecylsulfate (TBADS) has been observed as a function of surfactant concentration. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments in these systems show clustering of micelles as the temperature approaches the cloud point (CP). The individual micelles and the clusters of micelles coexist at CP. The clustering of micelles depends on the surfactant concentration and temperature. It is proposed that clustering is due to depletion of H-bonded water present around the butyl chains at the micellar surface. This is associated with entropy gain which is considered to be the major thermodynamic factor related to micellar aggregation. The structures (clusters) that emerge depend on the relative lengths of the alkyl chains of the counterion and can be tuned by the temperature.

Abstract
The aggregation properties of single-chain surfactants bearing one (H1), two (H2), and three (H3) trimethylammonium head groups have been studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Growth of aggregates was observed to decrease dramatically with an increase in the number of head groups in the surfactants. The micelles grow progressively smaller with every increase in the number of head groups of the surfactants. Aggregation number (N) continuously decreases and the fractional charge (alpha) gradually increases with the increase in the number of head groups. The semiminor axis (a) and semimajor axis (b=c) of the micelle decrease strongly with the increase in the number of head groups. In the case of H1, dramatic micellar growth is observed on addition of salts such as KBr and sodium salicylate, but this type of micellar growth is not observed in the cases of H2 and H3 when the above salts are added to their micellar solutions. Aggregation number and size of the micelles remain almost the same, even after addition of KBr at a concentration as high as 100 mM. This observation with multiheaded cationic surfactants is unusual. Clearly, the charge density at the head group level of surfactants markedly influences their micellar aggregation properties.
