The present work deals with an interpretation of the differences in micellar structure of two surfactants, sodium decyl sulfonate and sodium decyl sulfate, whose only difference in molecular structure is the presence, for sulfate, of an oxygen atom bridging alkyl chains from a common SO(3)(-) charged head group. Using a simple geometrical approach, a different exposure of the surfactant head groups on the micellar surface is proposed. It is also shown that the different interphase microstructure could be the reason that decyl sulfate forms ellipsoidal aggregates, in contrast to decyl sulfonate, which forms nearly spherical micelles.
