Abstract It has been shown by optical microscopy and X-Ray diffraction method that dimethylammonium bromides having two long alkyl chains (n=16, 18) form single crystals. This finding is the first example of the formation of single crystals of totally synthetic amphiphiles. The unit cell dimensions of the crystals of these compounds were similar to one another.
