Fig. 8. UV spectra of TC in the presence of AOT and SDS are displayed in plots A-1 and B-1, respectively. Plots A-2 and B-2 depict the TC-AOT and TC-SDS systems. The solid red line in these plots represents the linear fitting that was used to calculate K_b from the slope ratio and intercept. In plots A-3 and B-3, the variation of micelle mean occupancy (determined from absorbance data) with micelle concentration is shown for TC-AOT and TC-SDS. The solid red line in these plots represents the exponential fitting that was used to determine the total mean ion occupancy (i₀) from the empirical equation.
