Abstrakt: The hydrophobic-hydrophilic segment geometries of 36 sodium alkyl benzenesulfonates were fully optimized and calculated by abinitio RHF/6-31G(d), quantum chemical data such as the charge density, the energy of molecular orbital and the dipole moment were obtained. Based on two topological descriptors and one quantum chemical descriptor, a significant quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model for the critical micelle concentration ( c mc) of sodium alkyl benzenesufonate surfactants was obtained by using the multiple linear regression technique. The good correlation coefficient of R 2 (0.980) and cross validation correlation coefficient R (0.974) indicate the excellent capability and stability of the regression equation developed. In addition, linear relationships between logarithm of c mc and the dipole moment of surfactant hydrophobic hydrophilic segments for each homologous series have also been established with high correlation coefficient.
