The impact of the counterion in the performance of ionic hydrotropes

The efficiency of an ionic hydrotrope is shown to increase with the hydrophobicity of its counterion, challenging the common view that ionic hydrotropes should possess a small, densely charged counterion such as sodium or chloride. Highly hydrophilic counterions such as sodium or chloride are not go...

Zusammenfassung:The efficiency of an ionic hydrotrope is shown to increase with the hydrophobicity of its counterion, challenging the common view that ionic hydrotropes should possess a small, densely charged counterion such as sodium or chloride. Highly hydrophilic counterions such as sodium or chloride are not good choices as counterions to achieve efficient hydrotropy.
