Abstract

The effect of NaBr on the interaction between alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (CnTAB (n = 14 for TTAB and 16 for CTAB)) and ß-CD was studied by surface tension method. The first decrease in the γcmc of TTAB/ß-CD in the presence of NaBr mainly due to the elongated effective chain length of the hydrophobic part of the TTAB/ß-CD complexes; while the increase in the γcmc of both of the TTAB/ß-CD and CTAB/ß-CD in the presence of NaBr could be attributed to the close pack of CnTAB at the air/water interface.
