“…Consequently, these metallic compounds display the characteristic properties of a surfactant (surface activity and self-assembly) and are a useful tool for achieving unique arrangements with metallic compounds such as concentrating metals in the interfaces or forming metal aggregates of different sizes (micelles and vesicles). Although this is a relatively new research field, , the singular properties of these compounds have been oriented to a wide range of potential applications including magnetic resonance imaging, templates for mesoporous materials, metallomesogens, optoelectronic devices, solvatochromic probes, homogeneous catalysis, medicine, and nanoparticles . Other works have been devoted to metal-containing soft materials or to the study of metallosurfactants of different metals such as cadmium(II), chromium(III), cobalt(III), , copper(II), − iron(II), nickel(II), rhodium(I), ruthenium(II), , and zinc(II) .…”
