Spontaneous formation of vesicles in a catanionic association involving a head and tail functionalized amino-calix[6]arene

Cécile Bize, Jean-Christophe Garrigues, Muriel Blanzat, Isabelle Rico-Lattes, Olivia Bistri, Benoit Colasson and Olivia Reinaud


An amino-calix[6]arene was combined with sugar-based surfactants, using an acid–base reaction, to obtain an original catanionic association. Physicochemical studies showed the spontaneous formation of stable vesicles in aqueous solution.
