Determination of association constants of inorganic ions with C12- and C14-alkyldimethylammoniopropane sulfonate zwitterionic surfactants using capillary electrochromatography Original Research Article

Association constants (Kass) of 10 inorganic anions (chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrite, nitrate, chlorate, thiocyanate, iodate, perchlorate, and molybdate) and seven inorganic cations (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, magnesium, and cerium(III)) with micelles of two zwitterionic surfactants 3-(N,N-dimethyldodecylammonio)propane sulfonate (C12N3S) and 3-(N,N-dimethylmyristylammonio)propane sulfonate (C14N3S) were determined using capillary electrochromatography (CEC). These Kass values of anions with C12N3S increased as follows: Cl− (4.2±0.1)
