Novel organometallic surfactants were synthesized from monoquaternized 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]-octanes of varied hydrophobicity [Alk = CH, n = 14, 18] and lanthanum nitrates. The spectral, micelleforming, and adsorption properties of the synthesized compounds were studied by IR, Н NMR and electronic spectroscopy, tensiometry, conductometry, and potentiometry. The critical micelle concentrations, counterionic micellar binding constants, and adsorption parameters at the water-air interface were determined and compared with the respective characteristics of the ligands and conventional amphiphiles.
