Cover Story: This work forms part of the ‘Women in Physical Chemistry’ Special Issue of Molecules and was conducted by an all-female research team. Herein, we present a series of supramolecular self-associating amphiphilic (SSA) salts. We establish the potential for these molecular constructs to act as next-generation solution-state molecular delivery vehicles. This is achieved through the characterization of the self-associative properties of these SSAs alone and when co-formulated with drug(like) molecules within the solid-state, gas phase, and solution state using a variety of different complementary techniques. Based on these studies and our previous experience, we have also been able to provide an experimental toolkit to support other researchers investigating analogous systems. View this paper.
