Metallosurfactants are emerging as a relatively new class of surfactants whose ligand moieties bind to various transition metals. Because transition metal centers are incorporated into the surfactant frameworks, they can form various self-assembled structures with metallic interfaces such as micelles, vesicles, and lyotropic liquid crystals. To reduce the lability of transition metal complexes under aqueous conditions, various amphiphilic ligands have been developed as surfactant frameworks. This review discusses some aspects of the design and chemical structures of amphiphilic ligands, as well as focus on various functions and types of chemical bonds present in metallosurfactants.
