Super-chaotropic anions

The Hofmeister series for anions can be extented towards more chaotropic species such as the polyoxometalates.

(Equipe L2IA)

We propose a simple experimental procedure based on the cloud point measurement of a non-ionic surfactant as a tool for (i) estimating the super-chaotropic behaviour of polyoxometalates (POMs) and for (ii) establishing a classification of POMs according to their affinity towards polar surfaces.
