Aggregation Behavior of Sodium Dioctyl Sulfosuccinate in Deep Eutectic Solvents and Their Mixtures with Water: An Account of Solvent's Polarity, Cohesiveness, and Solvent Structure.

ABSTRACT: An anionic surfactant sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) aggregates in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and their mixtures with water (up to 50% w/w) in a contrasting manner. Two DESs, a mixture of choline chloride + urea and choline chloride + ethylene glycol, commonly known as Reline and Ethaline, respectively, are used as solvents. Behavior of AOT at air-solution interface and aggregation in bulk is investigated using surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence, and dynamic light scattering measurements. The obtained results are correlated with structural aspects of solvent systems as well as with inherent properties of solvent such as Kamlet-Taft polarity parameters, degree of cohesiveness derived from Gordon parameter (G), and cohesive energy density. It is observed that the spon
