Popis: The proton NMR spectra of 1-tetradecanesulfonates whose cationic counterion, the 1,1′-polymethylenedipyridinium ion (with even-numbered methylene groups up to 14), is divalent with separate electric charge, were measured. From the chemical shifts the pyridine rings were found to move about in quite hydrophilic environment of micellar surface region, leading to a downfield shift of methylene groups next to head group of surfactant ion. The chemical shifts of methylene groups of micellized counterions with more than eight methylene groups are different from those of corresponding counterions in aqueous environment and are similar to those of methylene group in hydrophobic micellar interior. These results strongly support the previous conclusion that the polymethylene group with more than eight methylene groups folds and penetrates micellar interior in their micellized state.
