Abstract
Nanostructured hybrid materials made of guest ions and a polyampholytic self-assembled copolymer are here synthesized. Their lamellar organization results from hydrophobic interactions between the copolymer alkyl side chains. Longer side chains improve the organization of hybrids what makes them more attractive to be used as a template for the preparation of sophisticated catalysts. However, they also enhance the hydrophobicity of the copolymer what complicates the synthesis of such hybrids. Dodecyl side chains appear as a compromise that enables to prepare well organized hybrids without sacrificing the copolymer capacity to link ions.
