Micelle formation in aqueous solutions of docasane-1,22-bis(trimethylammonium bromide) (C22ME6) has been investigated by means of conductivity, EMF (concentration cell and bromide ion and detergent ion specific electrodes), density, light scattering, fluorescence, and chemical relaxation (p-jump, t-jump, shock tube, ultrasonic absorption). The CMC, micelle ionization degree, micelle ionization degree, micelle aggregation number, and volume change upon micellization were calculated. The slope of the plot log CMC vs. number m of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain of bolaforms of the CMME6 type as well as several other results reveal that these bolaforms behave like detergents with 2 charged groups on the first carbon of the alkyl chain. The conclusion is that the bolaform alkyl chain may be somewhat folded both in aqueous solution and in the micellized state. 25 references.
