7.1 Introduction

Surfactants have emerged as compounds of utmost scientific and technological importance, witnessing an escalating progress in their structure as well as functionality. Surfactant systems with inorganic constituents (metal ions) form a subclass of hybrid surfactants having properties corresponding to both interfacial and metal ion chemistry. Metal ion‐containing surfactants are known to the scientific world with different names like metallosurfactants, metalloamphiphiles, ...
