The type of counterion determines whether the perfluoroalkyl chains extending from the hydrophilic core of a layered structure in compounds of the type M[C n F 2 m +1 SO 2 NSO 2 C n F 2 n +1 ] ( n, m = 4, 6) possess an all‐staggered conformation (M = Na) or a more typical helical conformation (M = K; see picture on the right). In the sodium complex the perfluoroalkyl chains are too closely packed to assume a twisted conformation.
