Resumen:
Ascorbyl-6-O-alkanoates (ascorbyl-O-CO-(CH2)n-1H) are single-chained anionic surfactants. When
dispersed in water at room temperature, they produce coagels. At higher temperatures, these hydrated
crystalline phases form either micellar solutions or gel phases, depending on the length of the aliphatic
tail. We report the effect of different anions (Hofmeister series) on the coagel-to-micelle and coagel-to-gel
phase transitions in ASCn/water systems, with 8 e n e 16. ASCn coagels in water are not greatly affected
by solution pH, in the pH range investigated. The T and ¢H values related to the coagel-to-micelle (for
ASC8 and ASC10) and to the coagel-to-gel (for ASC12, ASC14, and ASC16) phase transitions are quite
similar to those found in pure water, suggesting that the phase transition process is driven mainly by the
hydrocarbon chain length, when the concentration of the active ionic species is lower than 10-2 M (HCl
and phosphate buffer saline solutions). The presence of 0.5Msalt solutions (Hofmeister series) has a large
impact on the coagel properties, due to the adsorption of the different anionic species at the surface of
ascorbyl-alkanoate aggregates. The phase transition temperature changes significantly with the anions,
increasing in the following sequence: SCN- > I- > NO3
and phosphate buffer saline solutions). The presence of 0.5Msalt solutions (Hofmeister series) has a large

This is due to the hydrolysis equilibria that they generate in the presence of the ascorbic acid esters. What
emerges very clearly from this study is that anions and not just cations adsorb strongly to the negatively
charged interface of the ascorbyl-6-O-alkanoate aggregates. The different phase behavior reflects the
interplay between intramolecular interactions that involve the hydrophobic chains, those between the
ionic headgroups,andinteraggregate interactions.Thelast two are consistently modified by co-ion adsorption.
