Solvation Energy Calculations of Homologous Trimethylammoniocarboxylates
Calculating the solvation energies of surfactants is a way to predict the cmc. The solvation energies were determined for a homologous series of betaines, (CH₃)₃N+(CH₂)nCOO- where n = 1 to 6. Their structure is composed of only the hydrophilic head group of a surfactant. The solvation energies were...
