“…Various values of k s per a CH 2 group, k s (CH 2 ), for NaCl have been reported in log unit as follows: 0.032 for short-chain alkanes, 0.040 for alkylbetaines (3,5), 0.065 for short-chain alkyl amides (8), and 0.050 for C n E 6 (9). The corresponding value of a methyl group was estimated as 1.6 times k s (CH 2 ) by Schrier and Schrier (8), while the value equal to k s (CH 2 ) might be used for a methyl group in the calculation of contribution from alkyl chains to k s by Nishikido and Matuura (9).…”
