Atomistic Simulations of COSAN: Amphiphiles without a Head‐and‐Tail Design Display “Head and Tail” Surfactant Behavior

Cobaltabisdicarbollide (COSAN) anions have an unexpectedly rich self‐assembly behavior, which can lead to vesicles and micelles without having a classical surfactant molecular architecture. This was rationalized by the introduction of new terminology and novel driving forces. A key aspect in the int...
