Micelles are usually highly disorganized . But how do surfactants with rigid linear hydrophobic chains behave? The linear spiro‐surfactants 1 and 2 , which were prepared in multistep syntheses, display very different relationships between surface tension and surfactant concentration. Spiro‐phospholipids were also prepared and found to have exceptionally high transition temperatures.
