The synthesis of new amphiphilic compounds is described. The structures are rationally designed for soluble protein two-dimensional (2D) crystallization purpose. Special attention is devoted to fluidity properties expected of resulting monolayers. A series of 13 compounds was prepared containing unsaturated, branched or fluorinated alkyl chains. Structures are either symmetrical or dissymmetrical and present a hydroxyl group as polar head, eventually complemented with two other 'secondary' hydrophilic functions.
