“…Synthesis 2-(2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl dodecanoate (4)a nd fluorescent perylene bisimide amphiphiles 10 were synthesized according to literature procedures. [26,27] N-Dodecyl-2,2,3, 3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,11-henicosafluoroundecanamide (5): To an ice-cooled solution of perfluoro-n-undecanoic acid (282.05 mg, 0.5 mmol) in 20 mL dimethylformamide under an itrogen atmosphere, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (122.17 mg, 1mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 min at 0 8C, and then 1-HOBt (135.13 mg, 1mmol) was added.…”
