Rhamnolipids (RMLs) are a widely studied biosurfactant due to their high biodegradability and environmentally friendly production. However, the knowledge of the structure-property relationship of RMLs is imperative for the design of highly efficient applications. Aiming to a better understanding of it at a molecular level, we performed an automated search for low energy structures of the most abundant RMLs, namely, Rha-C10 , Rha-C10 -C10 , Rha-Rha-C10 and Rha-Rha-C10 -C10 and their respective C2 -congeners. Besides that, selected neutral metal complexes were also considered. We found that several low-energy congeners have internal hydrogen bonds. Moreover, geometries in "closed" conformation were always more stable than "open" ones. Finally, the energy diferences between open and closed conformations of K+ , Ni2+ , Cu2+ and Zn2+ complexes were found to be 23.5 kcal mol-1 , 62.8 kcal mol-1 , 24.3 kcal mol-1 and 41.6 kcal mol-1 , respectively, indicating a huge structural reorganization after the complex formation.
