A method for determiningnumber-average micellar molecular weights (mmw) by dye solubilization previously described3 was based on the fact that the solubilization limit was one molecule of Orange OT per micelle. This had been established with sodium decane-sulfonate (SDS03), dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and two Ci2 ethylene oxide (EO) condensates. This method was extended to micelles of nonionic detergents with larger hydrocarbon cores and to cationic detergents. Light scattering gave the same mmw as dye solubiliza-tion for nonylphenol (EO) 3o and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), but tripled the mmw for Ci8 (EO) 18 and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPyC), indicating that the latter two detergentssolubilized three dye molecules/micelle at saturation. Dye solubilization is therefore not an absolute method for determining mmw. It can be used to show rela-tive changes of mmw as a function of solubilized, flexible-chain impurities or concentration of added electrolytes and provides the lowest possible mmw. Mmw of ionic detergents determined by light scattering were 1.00 or 3.00 timesthe mmw determined by dye solu-bilization in the presence of swamping electrolyte. The mmw of the ionic detergents determined by light scattering apparently decreased with decreasing amounts of added electrolyte, becoming smaller, in the case of DTAB, than the mmw determined by dye solubilization. Since decreasing amountsof added electrolyte either had no effect on the mmw of ionic detergents determined by dye solubilization or caused a small increase, a reexamination of the interpretation of light scattering theory for highly charged micelles seems in order. The number of carbon atoms in the micellar hydrocarbon core associated with one solubilized dye molecule was found to decrease in the order: SDS03, SDS, DTAB, CPyC, Ci2 (EO) i6, Ci2 (EO) 28, Ci8 (EO) i8, nonylphenol (EO) 30. This is also the order of increasing size of the polar head groups, indicating that the larger the latter, the more loosely packed are the micelles and the greater their solubilizing power.
