Abstract:
The acid-base equilibria of 5,7-dichloro-2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) have been examined spectrophotometrically in aqueous micellar solution of the non-ionic surfactant Brij-35. The differences between apparent pK(a) values at different surfactant concentrations can be quantitatively explained in terms of the extraction constants of the neutral species HQ and the ion-pair Na(+)Q(-). Calculations have been performed by means of SPDIS program, developed in this work to handle multiwavelength spectrophotometric data in micellar systems.
