2. * General Introduction To Surfactant
Chemistry
*Surfactants form a unique class of chemical
compounds. Their nature and physical
properties of surfactants, emphasizing their
ability to radically alter surface and interfacial
properties and to self-associate and solubilize
themselves in micelles.
3. *Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules, which have both a
hydrophobic and a hydrophilic group, on opposite ends. They
work by arranging themselves in such a manner that a polar
solvent (such as water) will only be in contact with the
hydrophilic group or vice versa.
Figure 1.1.1: Structure of a surfactant monomers
6. * A micelle is an aggregate of surfactant molecules dispersed in a
liquid colloid. A typical micelle in aqueous solution forms an
aggregate with the hydrophilic "head" regions in contact with
surrounding solvent, sequestering the hydrophobic single-tail
regions in the micelle centre.
* How micelles is formed in water?
* • In aqueous solutions of this type of surfactant tend to
formed ordered aggregates such as micelles and bilayers.
* • Here the polar groups are exposed to the water and the
hydrocarbon portions are "buried" within the core, away from
the water.
* Figure 1.5:- Structure of micelles in aqueous solution.
7. *The process of forming micelles is known as
micellisation and forms part of the Phase behaviour of
many lipids according to their polymorphism.
*Micelles are non-stable components formed by the
aggregation of individual surfactant monomers,
capable of exhibiting different types of structures.
The possibility of structures can be spherical,
cylindrical and planar. The shape and size of micelle
depends of factors such as the surfactant molecule
chemical structure, varying environmental conditions
such as temperature, concentration, surfactant
property, ionic strength, and pH.

*Definition Of Critical Micelle Concentration
*Factors affecting the critical micelle concentration
and micellar size
*There are several factors affecting the CMC of a
surfactant. These include the amphiphile chain
length, dissolved salts, the structure of the head
group, temperature, the structure of the alkyl chain
and polar additives. The effects of chain length, salts
and alcohol on the critical micelle concentration
have been widely studied.

General procedures for determining binding constant of metal
complexes
1. The maximum absorbance are recorder within the range
of 400nm to 600nm for the UV spectrophotometer and within the
range of 400nm to 800nm for the colourimeter.
2. The concentration of metal ions denoted as [GUEST] is
calculated for each volume added.
3. The free extinction coefficient is calculated and subtracted
to the extinction coefficient obtained after addition of metal
ligands.
4. A graph of [Guest]/( Ea-Ef) versus [GUEST] is plotted and
binding constant calculated as explained below
5. Finally all these procedures are repeated for all UV and
colourimetric analysis for the quest of finding the binding constant
of all metal complexes.
