Creation of hollow microtubular iron oxalate dihydrate induced by a metallo-supramolecular micelle based on the self-assembly of potassium ferrioxalate and sodium dodecyl sulphate†
Abstract
A novel metallo-supramolecular micelle PF–SDS–SM was formed at room temperature through the self-assembly of potassium ferrioxalate and sodium dodecyl sulphate. This leads to a new reaction pattern which is not yet fully understood, accompanied by the creation of hollow elongated square microtubular iron oxalate dihydrate during a hydrothermal process.
