The aqueous self-assembly of a novel lysine-derived surfactant with a gemini-like architecture, designated here as 12-Lys-12, has been experimentally investigated for the amphiphile alone in water and in a mixture with dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). The neat surfactant forms interesting micrometer-sized rigid tubules in the dilute region, resulting in very viscous solutions. For the catanionic mixture with DTAB, various single and multiphase regions were identified (up to a total surfactant concentration of 1.5 wt %) by means of combined polarizing light microscopy, cryo-TEM, and NMR. In the DTAB-rich side, for a mixing molar ratio in the range 2 < DTAB/12-Lys-12 < 4, a region of stable, unilamellar vesicles can be found. Furthermore, it was found that upon addition of 12-Lys-12 to pure DTAB solutions, the mixed micelles grow and beyond a given mixing ratio, vesicles assemble and coexist with small micelles. The transition is not continuous, since there is a narrow mixing range where phase separation occurs. Self-diffusion measurements and cryo-TEM imaging show that the average vesicle radius is on the order of 30-40 nm.
