Interactions of halophenols with aqueous micellar systems

The interaction of a series of halophenols with sodium dodecyl sulphate and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles was studied by different techniques (high-performance liquid chromatography, apparent acidity constant, spectral shift). The contributions of the halogens to the free energy of transfer from water to micelles are calculted. Correlations between the free energy of transfer for water/micellar solutions and for the classical octanol/water system are good. The application of micellar systems in chromatography and acid-base titrations is verified.
