Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance spectra of sodium N-acyl sarcosinates were measured in deuterium oxide solution, and the change of molecular conformations of these surfactants due to formation of micelles was investigated. The population of the trans configuration of surfactant molecules relative to that of the cis configuration was found to increase with increasing concentration. The increase of the trans configuration at the critical micelle concentration was marked. This observation indicates that the trans configuration of sodium N-acyl sarcosinates is more stable in the micelle state than in the mono-molecular dispersion state.
