Amphiphile aggregates show properties, such as stability and shape, which depend upon the concentration and the nature of the ions in solution. This effect is general and applies to systems ranging from the self-assemblies of surfactants (micelles) to lamellae formed by double hydroxide. Although the specific ion effects were first described more than a hundred years ago, there is no cons…
Specific ion effects are a general phenomenon in ionic micellar systems. Cationic micelles with inorganic counterions are usually spherical, but some aromatic anions induce sphere-to-rod transitions in these aggregates. Aromatic anion-induced micellar shape transitions have been related to counterion insertion into the hydrophobic core, ion-pairing and dehydration at the interface. Triflu…
