Counterion-Dependent Access to Low-Symmetry Lyotropic Sphere Packings of Ionic Surfactant Micelles

The water-driven self-assembly of homologous dianionic surfactants into lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) is investigated, with a focus on understanding how surfactant headgroup and counterion identities guide supramolecular spherical mesophase selection. Using temperature-dependent small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we demonstrate that 2-alkylmalonate surfactants (CnMal-M2) with n = 8 (octyl) or 10 (decyl) and M = K+, Cs+, or (CH3)4N+ form both simple and complex micelle packings. Observed spherical morphologies include body-centered cubic (BCC), hexagonally closest-packed (HCP), and tetrahedrally closest-packed Frank-Kasper (FK) A15 and σ phases (Pm3(-)n and P42/mnm symmetries, respectively). Previously observed in only one other minimally hydrated surfactant, the σ phase is a rare LLC morphology comprising a low-symmetry unit cell containing 30 sub-2-nm quasispherical micelles, each of which belongs to one of five symmetry-equivalent classes with discrete aggregation numbers. Temperature versus water concentration phase maps for CnMal-M2 LLCs reveal that σ-phase formation depends sensitively on the size and polarizability of the surfactant counterion and the length of the surfactant alkyl tail. These observations are rationalized in terms of a delicate interplay between global packing symmetry and local particle symmetry, and the extent to which counterion-headgroup correlations enforce the latter structures in these LLC phases.
