The self association of dodecane, 1,12-bis(tributylammonium bromide) and of hexadecane, 1,16-bis(trimethylammonium bromide) (C12BU6 and C16ME6, respectively) has been investigated by means of density, conductivity, emf, t-jump, and ultrasonic absorption. The results of conductivity and emf indicate no micelle formation in solutions of C12BU6 up to concentrations of 5 x 10/sup -2/ moles. On the contrary conductivity, emf, and ultrasonic absorption studies reveal that C16ME6 forms micelles with an ionization degree close to 0.5 and a cmc of approximately 4.5 x 10/sup -2/ moles. These results are the first to clearly show micelle formation by bolaform detergents of the CMH2M + 1N + (R) 3Br-type. 23 references.
