The solubilization constants (K_s) of 4-halogenated aniline derivatives by cationic surfactants (DTAB, TTAB, and CTAB) were measured by the UV-Vis method. As a result, the K_s values decreased as the temperature increased for all the aniline derivatives and showed a tendency to increase as the radius of the halogen substituent and the hydrophobic length of surfactant increased. The calculated values of ΔG^o and ΔH^o for these solubilizations all showed negative values within the measured range, but all the ΔS^o values showed positive values. For all the 4-halogenated anilines, the ΔG^o values all tended to decrease as the temperature increased, but both values of ΔH^o and ΔS^o showed a tendency to increase. In addition, as the radius of the halogen substituent increased, the values of ΔH^o and ΔS^o tended to decrease in general. However, when the hydrophobic group length of the surfactant was increased, the values of these thermodynamic functions showed a tendency to increase in general, although it differed depending on the type of aniline derivative. From the changes of such functions, it was possible to estimate the type and strength of interactions between 4-halogenated aniline and micelle, and the location at which they were solubilized in the micelle.
