Zusammenfassung
In this paper, we propose a Hofmeister-like ordering of charged headgroups. To this purpose we review various literature data and complete them with some new exptl. and computational results on interactions of ions with alkyl sulfates and carboxylates. We further combine the proposed headgroup ordering with the law of matching water affinities in order to obtain a general description and ...

In this paper, we propose a Hofmeister-like ordering of charged headgroups. To this purpose we review various literature data and complete them with some new exptl. and computational results on interactions of ions with alkyl sulfates and carboxylates. We further combine the proposed headgroup ordering with the law of matching water affinities in order to obtain a general description and predictions of ion-headgroup interactions. Examples from colloidal chem. and from biol. systems are provided to illustrate the power of this approach.
