The displacement of Br- or Cl- from cetyltrimethylammonium ion micelles by added anions can be monitored by following changes in line widths of Br-79- signals or line widths or chemical shifts of Cl-35- signals. Tosylate ion displaces Br- very strongly from micelles, and displacement by NO-3, N-3, Cl-, and HCO-2 is fitted by the pseudophase ion-exchange (PIE) model. This model fails for addition of OH- or F- to (CTA)Br, and of OH-to (CTA)Cl, but the displacement is fitted by the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE). A rationalization is given for the ability of the PIE model to fit kinetic data for reactions of OH- in micellized (CTA)Br or (CTA)Cl even though it does not fit the NMR data.
