ABSTRACT
The color of an aqueous tri-iodide ion (I,-) solution fades in the presence of anionic surfac-
tants, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT)
and sodium 4-sulfobutyl laurate (llC-4), when the added concentration of anionic surfactant is
above the c.m.c. These results can be explained by the acceleration of hydrolysis of Is- in the
presence of negatively charged micelles. The hydrogen ions are sequestered by anionic micelles
from the aqueous solution, resulting in a change in the bulk solution property due to hydroxyl ions
remaining after the fixation of protons at the micelles, and leading to an increase in the rate of
hydrolysis of I,-. Further, the fading of I,- in aqueous solution depends on the type of surfactant
and the concentration of sodium chloride. Above the surfactant c.m.c. the fading of the color of
the Is- solution becomes slower with increasing concentration of sodium chloride, eventually
reaching zero, except in the case of SDS. This salt effect can be explained by the exchange between
hydrogen and sodium ion at the surface of the anionic micelle.
The magnitude of hydrolysis of I,- in the various anionic surfactants in the presence of sodium
chloride occurs in the following order: AOT> llC-4> SDS.
INTRODUCTION
There have been several early studies of the hydrolysis of iodine [l-5]. Bray
[ 21 found that the increase in conductance of an aqueous iodine solution with
time depended on the hydrolysis reaction of iodine in the aqueous solution.
This hydrolysis of iodine is accelerated by an excess of hydroxyl ion [ 31. More
recently, Uehara [6] reported that the inhibition of the coloring reaction in
the amylose-iodide system by the presence of alkali is caused by a decrease in
the amount of tri-iodide ion (Is- ) which forms the amylose-iodine complex.
On the other hand, iodine is an electron acceptor which forms complexes
with nonionic surfactants [7-121. This property of iodine has been used to
determine the c.m.c. of nonionic surfactants by Ross and Oliver [ 71 and Becher
[S]. However, Ross and Oliver [7] and Chao et al. [ 131 have reported that
only a very weak interaction takes place between iodine and negatively charged
micelles, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Where iodine shows a very
weak maximum absorption band at 460 nm [ 14,151, this sensitivity is too low
to obtain any information about micelle formation by anionic surfactants. While
hydrogen ion is expected to be adsorbed at negatively charged micelles in weakly
acid solution [ 16,171, some interaction between Is- (or IZ) and the anionic
surfactant could occur in this case.
When iodine and iodide ion exist in the same solution and the concentration
of iodine is smaller than that of iodide, the tri-iodide ion is mainly formed
[ 18,191, and this has a high absorbance coefficient at 350 nm [ 141. In this
work the interaction between iodine and anionic surfactants, such as SDS,
sodium di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) and sodium 4-sulfobutyl laurate
(llC-4), was studied by monitoring the change in absorbance of 13-.
EXPERIMENTAL
Materials
Measurements
Figure 1 shows the absorption spectra of IB- (12=0.1 mM, KI= 0.36 mM)
at 250-450 nm in SDS aqueous solution. The absorption maximum band of
I,- at 350 nm does not shift in the presence of SDS, but the absorbance of Is-
decreases with the concentration of SDS above its c.m.c. If iodine had been
used in this experiment in the absence of potassium iodide it would have shown
a very small maximum absorption band at 460 nm [ 14,151. The change in
absorbance of iodine at 460 nm is not sensitive enough for one to study the
interaction of an anionic surfactant with iodine upon the addition of the an-
ionic surfactant [ 131. Consequently, in order to study this interaction, it is
essential to use potassium iodide in these mixtures.
Plots of the absorbances of IB- (I, = 0.1 n-&f, KI = 0.36 mM) at 350 nm against
log C for anionic surfactants in aqueous solution are shown in Fig. 2. In the
case of AOT, a break point appears at 3.2 mM AOT, where the absorbance of
I,- decreases with the concentration of AOT above 3.2 mM. This concentra-
tion of AOT (3.2 mM) almost corresponds to the c.m.c. (2.5 mM) obtained by
surface tension measurements [ 211. Similar behavior is observed in the case
of llC-4; here the breakpoint appears at 3.6 mM. This value also agrees with
that obtained by conductivity measurements [ 221. The c.m.c. values of anionic

The fraction of overall iodine present as I2 decreases sharply in the pH range
6-10, since I2 is replaced by I- and IO,- [ 261. The hydrolysis of Is- proceeds
very slowly at pH 5-6, but the reaction is considerably accelerated by the pres-
ence of anionic surfactant micelles.
In Fig. 3 the absorbances of IB- (I, =O.l mM, KI=0.36 mM) at 350 nm
against log C of AOT are shown as a function of the concentration of added
sodium chloride. The absorbance of Is- decreases very sharply above the c.m.c.
of AOT in the absence of sodium chloride, but the addition of 5-7.5 mM of
sodium chloride makes the magnitude of the decrement smaller. Finally, the
addition of 10 mM sodium chloride makes the decrement zero, and the I,-
solution almost maintains the same absorbance with AOT even above its c.m.c.
With an increase in the concentration of sodium chloride, the fixed concentra-
tion of counterion at the micelle surface increases, so that the basicity of the
surrounding bulk aqueous solution disappears; the hydrolysis of Is- hardly
occurs in the presence of sodium chloride in concentrations exceeding 10 mM.
This salt effect can be explained by H+/Na+ ion exchange [ 271 at the surface
of the anionic micelle. In addition, the concentration at the breakpoint corre-
sponding to the c.m.c. decreases with increasing concentration of sodium chlo-
ride [ 28,291. These concentrations almost coincide with the c.m.c. values ob-
tained by surface tension measurements [ 301.
Figure 4 shows the absorbance of IB- (I,=O.l mM, KI =0.36 mM) at 350
nm plotted against log C of SDS as a function of the concentration of sodium
chloride. The total absorbance of I,- decreases sharply at the c.m.c. of SDS.
However, this breakpoint becomes less sharp after the addition of sodium chlo-
ride. In this mixture the inhibition of the hydrolysis of IB- by the addition of
sodium chloride should occur. In the case of SDS, the hydrolysis of I,- can still

and surface tension measurements are shown in Fig. 5. The c.m.c. values of
SDS obtained from both methods are very similar.
In the case of llC-4, plots of the absorbances of IB- (1, = 0.1 mM, KI = 0.36
mM) at 350 nm against log C of llC-4 are shown in Fig. 6 as a function of the
concentration of sodium chloride. Upon the addition of 100 mM sodium chlo-
ride, the IB- solution also maintained the same absorbance with llC-4, even
above its c.m.c. This concentration is larger than that of AOT.
From the concentrations of sodium chloride obtained in the cases of IB- with
SDS, AOT and llC-4, respectively, the hydrolysis reaction of IB- for the var-
ious types of anionic surfactant is affected by sodium chloride in the following
order: AOT > llC-4 > SDS.
