Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Salt induced micelle-to-vesicle transitions of ionic surfactants depend on the surfactant chain length, headgroup structure, counterion type and concentration, but the interfacial molarities of counterions and water that balance the hydrophobic effect are difficult to determine. In anionic micelles of twin-tailed sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT), the chemical trapping (CT) method provides estimates of the interfacial molarities of anionic headgroups (RSO) and neutral (HO) nucleophiles during salt induced transitions of AOT micelles to vesicles. Product yields were measured by HPLC from the competitive dediazoniation reaction using a specially designed hydrophobic probe, 4-hexadecyl-2,6-dimethylbenzenediazonium cation, 16-ArN. The reactions were run at constant concentration of 15 mM AOT mixed with 0 to 50 mM added salts, containing cations of different sizes and valences including tetraalkylammonium cations (MR, R = 1-4) and metal cations (M). Parallel reactions in aqueous salt solutions with a short chain analog, 1-ArN, were used as references to calculate interfacial molarities. Aggregates were structurally characterized by TEM and DLS. Typically, interfacial RSO molarities increase with added salts from 1 to 2 M and water molarities decrease from about 40 to 20 M with the micelle to vesicle transition. These changes are consistent with the ion-pair/hydration model, in which the added cations form neutral but polar ion-pairs with RSO that have a lower demand for hydration and water was released into the surrounding aqueous phase. The extent of ion-pairing increases with cation size, charge and hydrophobicity and decreases with interfacial water molarity, which permits tighter interfacial packing and vesicle formation at lower added salt concentrations.
