Three long chain alanine-based amphiphiles (1–3) possessing either a saturated long alkyl chain group or unsaturated groups as the self-assembling unit of a highly organized molecular architecture were synthesized. Their self-assembling properties were investigated using EF-TEM, SEM, CD, XRD, and FTIR. The d-form (1) and the l-form (2) enantiomers showed the opposite CD signals. Furthermore, electron micrographs of the self- ...
