Ferrocenyl surfactant Fc (CH2) 11N+ (CH3) 3Br-, sold as "FTMA" (Dojindo Laboratories), was dissolved at a concentration of 0.3 mM in an aqueous solution of 0.01 M Li2 S O4 (Aldrich 203653), where the pH was adjusted to 2 using H2 S O4, following B. S. Gallardo, V. K. Gupta, F. D. Eagerton, L. I. Jong, V. S. Craig, R. R. Shah, and N. L. Abbott, Science 283, 57 (1999). Fluorescein dye was added for visualization.
