RT Book,_Section T1 Synthesis and Characterization of a New Gemini Surfactant Derived from 3a,7a,12a-trihydroxy-5ß-cholan-24-amine (Steroid Residue) and Ethylenediamintetraacetic Acid (Spacer) A1 Álvarez Alcalde, María de las Mercedes A1 Antelo Queijo, Álvaro A1 Jover Ramos, Aida A1 Meijide del Río, Francisco Ángel A1 Vázquez Tato, José AB A new gemini steroid surfactant derived from 3a,7a,12a-trihydroxy-5ß-cholan-24-amine (steroid residue) and ethylenediamintetraacetic acid (spacer) was synthesized and characterized in aqueous solution by surface tension measurements and fluorescence intensity of pyrene. These techniques evidence the existence of a threshold concentration, cac, below which a three layers film is formed at the air-water interface. At high concentrations, the intensity ratio of the vibronic peaks of pyrene, I1/I3, (= 0.81) is very close to published values for sodium cholate micelles, indicating that the probe is located in a region with a very low polarity and far from water PB MDPI SN 3-906980-20-0 YR 2008 FD 2008 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26849 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26849 LA eng NO Alcalde, M.A.; Antelo, A.; Jover, A.; Meijide, F.; Tato, J.V.
