1,3-Bis(3-ammonium-propyl)tetramethyldisiloxane-sulfate: Structural characterization and evaluation of some properties

► 1,3-Bis(3-ammonium-propyl)tetramethyldisiloxane sulfate was obtained. ► The structure was proved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and spectral analyses. ► The surface activity was confirmed by tensiometry. ► Self-assembling in solution was proved by dynamic light scattering. ► AFM image of the spin coated films emphasized presence of micelles and aggregates.
