Abstract
Structural features of the crystal state of the bolaform 1,12-diaminododecane-dihydrochloride were ascertained by X-ray crystallography, and laser Raman spectroscopy, and the data are compared to these found for dodecylamine hydrochloride. The study shows that water molecules are bonded to the head groups of the bolaform, and that the methylene chain structure is normal for an all trans structure, similar to monobasic surfactants and crystalline polyethylene. These data throw some light on the nature of the bolaform aggregates formed in aqueous solution.
