“…On the basis of this idea, we designed and synthesized two series of Gemini surfactants: Gemini surfactants with rigid aromatic spacer ‐CH 2 ‐Ph‐CH 2 ‐: 6,6′‐( N,N ′‐di(alkyl)‐p‐phenylenedimethylamino)bis(6‐deoxy‐1,2‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐α‐D‐glucofuranose) having chain lengths C 8, C 10, C 12, C 14, C 16 , and C 18, (Sharma et al, 2014; Sharma and Saroj, 2012; Sharma and Singh, 1995) and Gemini surfactants with flexible aliphatic spacer ‐(CH 2 ) 6 ‐: 6,6′‐( N,N ′‐di(2‐hydroxyalkyl)1,6‐hexanediamino)bis(6‐deoxy‐1,2‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐α‐D‐glucofuranose) having chain lengths C 12, C 14, C 16 (Sharma et al, 2015) (scheme 1) .…”
