Abstract
Solubilization isotherms of polar aromatic solutes (phenols, anilines, and benzaldehydes) in N-hexadecylpyridinium chloride micelles have been determined at 25{degree}C by using the semiequilibrium dialysis method. Effects of various substituent groups (H, F, Cl, Br, CH{sub 3}O, NO{sub 2}, CH{sub 3}, Et, i-Pr, and CF{sub 3}) have been studied for the solubilization of phenol, aniline, and benzaldehyde derivatives in aqueous solutions of the surfactant. Both hydrophobic and electrostatic effects are shown to be important in influencing the solubilization behavior. The simple expression, K = K{sub 0}(1 {minus} BX){sup 2}, is used to correlate the solubilization equilibrium constant (K) with the mole fraction of solute in the micelles (X). Linear free energy relationships can be used to correlate the solubilization results for the different classes of compounds.
