Abstract
The effect of replacing the Na + counterion of Aerosol OT by Cu 2+ on the hydration mechanism of AOT reverse micelles was studied by infrared spectroscopy. The IR properties of ternary systems formed by Cu(AOT) 2/[H 2O]/CCl 4 are reported and compared with the corresponding Na(AOT) system. The results show significant differences in interactions of Na + and Cu 2+ counterions with H 2O molecules and the SO 3 − headgroup of AOT.
