Popis: The interaction between MEGA-10 and surface active agents was studied by means of circular dichroism. The molecular ellipticity of MEGA-10 varied with the addition of surface active agents, but its peak wavelength did not. The carbonyl group of MEGA-10 did not interact with the nonionic surface active agents nor the catanionic surfactant (of which the anionic and cationic portions were decanesulfonate and decyltrimethylammonium, respectively). It did, however, interact with the ionic surfactants, and also strongly with the ammonium group and the benzene ring. The interaction between MEGA-10 and ionic surfactant charges did not differ according to the sign of the charge. Circular dichroism spectra are a useful tool for performing research into the interaction between an optically active carbonyl group and an additive.
