Simple and differential UV/Visible spectroscopic method were used to monitored the interaction of Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Sodium-N-laouryl sarcosinate (SLS) with crystal violet (CV) in pre-micellar and post-micellar concentration range. The results showed that the peak of CV at 590nm was unperturbed in CV/SDS system, but the intensity increased as surfactant concentration increased, unlike in the CV/SLS system. This is an indication that strong interaction between occurred CV and surfactants molecule. Absorption data were also used to obtain partition coefficient (Kc) values and binding constant (Kαβ) values from which the free energy of partition (0 c G ) and the free energy of binding (0 G ) were estimated. From the partition coefficient (Kc) values, it could be inferred that the solubilization of CV is more pronounced and spontaneous in the SDS than in the SLS micellar media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
