Abstract
The 35Clâ NMR chemical shift and line width and the 1H chemical shifts of cetylpyridinium chloride, CPyCl, change abruptly at the critical micelle concentration, indicating conversion of monomeric surfactant into micelles within a very small range of concentration. The simple pseudophase treatment fits these results up to 0.05 M CPyCl, but there then appears to be a modest change in micellar structure. Premicelles of single chain surfactants, detected kinetically or photochemically, are probably formed by interactions between reactant(s) and surfactant.
