The dioctadecyl ammonium surfactant 1, functionalized with a p-nitrophenyl ester of picolinic acid, has been synthesized and its hydrolysis in covesicular blends of nonfunctional surfactants dihexadecyldimethylammonium bromide, 3, diodadecyldimethylammonium bromide, 4, and racemic 1, 2-bis (palmitoyloxy)-3-(trimethylammonium) propyl bromide, 6, studied after addition of Cu (I1) ions at pH= 5.0 and different temperatures. The cleavage ...
