Abstract

Like rock stars on stage, sugar-derived surfactants take the spotlight, orchestrating a molecular performance of self-assembly in nonpolar environments. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202404758), N. M. Correa, M. L. Uhrig and co-workers explain how they used DLS and SAXS to unveil the surfactants' ability to form reverse micelles with remarkable size uniformity and a well-defined interface. Strikingly, one of these amphiphiles exhibits a unique structural arrangement in toluene, revealing a low-resolution model compatible with a reverse vesicle. This behavior suggests unprecedented insights into supramolecular organization in biocompatible and nonpolar media: Sweet Surfactant o' Mine—a molecular performance that redefines self-assembly chemistry.

封面专题：碳水化合物衍生的两亲性化合物的自组织：对其超分子组装的见解

就像舞台上的摇滚明星一样，糖衍生的表面活性剂占据了聚光灯，在非极性环境中精心编排了分子自组装的表现。在他们的研究文章（DOI: 10.1002/chem.202404758）中，N. M. Correa， M. L. Uhrig及其同事解释了他们如何使用DLS和SAXS揭示表面活性剂形成具有显著尺寸均匀性和良好定义界面的反胶束的能力。引人注目的是，其中一种两亲体在甲苯中表现出独特的结构排列，揭示了与反囊泡兼容的低分辨率模型。这种行为表明了对生物相容性和非极性介质中超分子组织的前所未有的见解：甜表面活性剂-一种重新定义自组装化学的分子性能。

期刊介绍： Chemistry—A European Journal is a truly international journal with top quality contributions (2018 ISI Impact Factor: 5.16). It publishes a wide range of outstanding Reviews, Minireviews, Concepts, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. Based in Europe Chemistry—A European Journal provides an excellent platform for increasing the visibility of European chemistry as well as for featuring the best research from authors from around the world. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed, and electronic processing ensures accurate reproduction of text and data, plus short publication times. The Concepts section provides nonspecialist readers with a useful conceptual guide to unfamiliar areas and experts with new angles on familiar problems. Chemistry—A European Journal is published on behalf of ChemPubSoc Europe, a group of 16 national chemical societies from within Europe, and supported by the Asian Chemical Editorial Societies. The ChemPubSoc Europe family comprises: Angewandte Chemie, Chemistry—A European Journal, European Journal of Organic Chemistry, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, ChemPhysChem, ChemBioChem, ChemMedChem, ChemCatChem, ChemSusChem, ChemPlusChem, ChemElectroChem, and ChemistryOpen.
