Abstract

The specific conductance of aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was measured from 20 to 35 ºC with an interval of 5 °C in the absence and presence of metal complexes such as [Cr(acac)2(H2O)2]Cl, K3[Fe(C2O4)3] and (NH4)4[Co(C6H5O7)2] at concentrations ranging from 2.0 × 10-4 to 8.0 x 10-4 M. The specific conductance rapidly increased at the pre-micellar region with increasing of temperature and concentration of SDS, but after critical micelle concentration (CMC) the rate of increase was slower. As the concentrations of metal complexes [Cr(acac)2(H2O)2]Cl, K3[Fe(C2O4)3] and (NH4)4[Co(C6H5O7)2] increased, the CMC of SDS decreased exponentially, which was sharp with increasing temperature. The CMC decreases due to the formation of pre-micellar aggregates of the positive counter ions of the complexes with dodecyl sulphate ions (DS-) and hydrophobic interaction between ligands of complexes and hydrophobic tail of SDS. The pre-micellar aggregate formation was essentially influenced by the counter ions binding abilities to the anionic micelle. The effect of metal complexes on lowering the CMC of SDS was found to follow the order [Cr(acac)2(H2O)2]Cl < K3[Fe(C2O4)3] < (NH4)4[Co(C6H5O7)2]. Thermodynamics of metal complexes with SDS and parameters of micellization ΔG°mic, ΔH°mic and TΔS°mic  were calculated.
