Abstract
The design, synthesis, and lyotropic liquid crystal phase behaviour of six cross-linkable, phosphobetaine-based, zwitterionic amphiphiles are described. Two form a Q<sub>II</sub> phase with aq. NH<sub>4</sub>Cl solution, giving 3D-nanoporous membrane materials that can be used for water desalination and are not susceptible to ion exchange like traditional ionic analogues.
