Abstract
The interaction of cresol red (CR) with cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), and Triton X-100 (TX-100) was studied in aqueous solutions employing conductometric, tensiometric, and spectroscopic methods. Various micellar and interfacial parameters were calculated in absence and in presence of CR. The interactions suggest the formation of a CR-CPB adduct, an association of CR with the micelle of TX-100 while no adduct is formed between CR and SDS. Appreciably low critical micelle concentration, CMC value of TX-100 compared with those of CPB and SDS in pure water and drastic reduction of CMC of CPB (about one-twelfth of its value in pure water) than SDS and TX-100 in the presence of CR were observed. Higher negative values of Gibbs free energy of micellization, ΔG m 0, for all the three surfactants indicate that micellization process is spontaneous. The values of maximum surface excess concentration, Γ max, and minimum area per molecule, A min, suggest that in the presence of CR, the air-solution interface is closely packed and the orientation of surfactant molecules is almost perpendicular to the surface. UV-visible spectra suggest the formation of ion-pair complex between the dye CR and the monomers of CPB in the pre-micellar region, while above the CMC a breaking up of the ion-pair complex takes place and the dye is solubilized in the micelles of CPB. In the case of SDS the absorption spectra indicate weak interaction between CR and SDS molecules formation of H-bonding, short range dispersive forces, and hydrophobic interactions between CR and TX-100 molecules in the solution.Keywords
