The spontaneous aggregation of the bolaamphiphile α,ω‐docosanediol into embryonic three‐dimensional crystallites at the air‐water interface can be inhibited by additives. A study with the aim of determining the necessary properties of such supplements is reported, which uses additives with molecular recognition properties and methods such as X‐ray reflectivity, cryotransmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy in order to detect structural changes at the nanometer level.
