In this paper, we designed two gemini-type amphiphiles containing diacetylene units which were covalently linked through l-lysine or l-lysine ethyl ester moiety (abbreviated as TCDA-LysAc or TCDA-LysEs) as the spacer. These amphiphiles can be easily fabricated into organized molecular films though t...
