Formation of vesicles with an organometallic amphiphile bilayer by supramolecular arrangement of metal carbonyl metallosurfactants

Metallo-vesicles are formed in water medium as a result of the supramolecular arrangement of molybdenum carbonyl metallosurfactants. These new kind of surfactants contain a hydrophobic metal carbonyl fragment and are easily prepared from surfactant phosphine ligands.
