Proposed cation-induced carboxylate-crosslinking of Fe(III)-ME head-groups as a mechanism to promote the micelle-to-vesicle transition. Reproduced with permission from [57]. The resulting “composite surfactant” would have a lower head-group area: tail-volume ratio that may favor vesicle formation [55].
