Abstract

Specific ion effects in zwitterionic micelles, especially for anions, are evident in reaction kinetics, zeta potential, and critical micelle concentration measurements. However, anion adsorption to zwitterionic micelles does not produce significant changes in shape, aggregation number, or interfacial hydration. Here we used molecular dynamics simulation of systems containing sulfobetaine zwitterionic micelles of N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (DPS) and nine different salts to explore ion adsorption in terms of group dehydration. Our results, in line with those obtained for cationic micelles, showed that the adsorption degree of anions containing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions, i.e., hydrotropes, were correlated with the ion dehydration and were governed mainly by the hydrophobic portion dehydration upon adsorption.
