Abstract

Our earlier study indicated that [P4444]CF3COO salt in binary aqueous solution was found an extremely strong hydrophobe. Here, we examine its hydrophobicity by the 1-propanol probing methodology we have developed earlier. The results indicated contrary to our expectation the salt was in fact the most significant amphiphile with a strong hydrophobic and an equally strong hydrophilic contributions; indeed the strongest ones we have encountered. We discuss a possible interpretation why and how such surprising results came about.
