| Summary: | Incorporating a metal cation as an integral component of the headgroup of a surfactant - a metallosurfactant - offers a route to concentrate these ions and their associated functionality at interfaces. To reduce the lability of the metal, various chelating or macrocyclic ligands may be employed leading to a family of homologous series of related metallosurfactants with a structural diversity that is arguably broader than is inherently possible with conventional surfactants. This review discusses the small number of key papers that are quantifying the physico-chemical properties of metallosurfactants and highlights their "classical" as well as "non-classical" surfactant behaviour, providing an insight into the structure of micelles and films formed from these novel materials. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
