The interfacial and bulk properties of the aqueous solutions of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with different halide anions ([C12mim]Cl, [C12mim]Br, [C12mim]I) were investigated by surface tension and electrical conductivity measurements. The lowest surface tension (纬cmc) and maximum surface excess concentration (螕max) values from the surface tension measurements showed that [C12mim]I had the highest surface activity. The thermodynamic pontentials of micellization (螖G0m, 螖H0m, 螖S0m) indicated that the micellization of [C12mim]Cl and [C12mim]Br was entropy-driven, while that of [C12mim]I was enthalpy-driven at 15 掳C but entropy-driven above 20 掳C. This distinct behavior for [C12mim]I was thought to be due to the higher binding affinity of I鈥?/sup> to the micellar interface.
