The impact of the counterion in the performance of ionic hydrotropes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Feb 23. doi: 10.1039/d0cc08092f. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 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.PMID:33621286 | DOI:10.1039/d0cc08092f
