The macroscopic phenomenology of hydrophobicity the segregation of oil and water is well studied. However, its theoretical understanding in a molecular level is still incomplete. Recent progress in Xray diffraction allowed for the first time to determine the structure of the oil/water interfaces with atomic resolution, yielding information on the molecularscale origin of the hydrophobic interaction. Although bare oil/water interfaces occur only rarely, these interfaces are often decorated by surfactants, which modify the hydrophobic interaction. Oil/water interfaces, modified by nonionic, electrically neutral, alcohol surfactants have been already studied. However, molecular resolution measurements for the more complex electricallycharged ionic surfactants are not available in the literature. Thus, a key ingredient in the fundamental understanding of the relation between ionic surfactants and the hydrophobic interactions is still missing. Here, we employ Xray diffraction and surface tension techniques in order to investigate the structure and thermodynamics of these surfactant decorated oil/water interfaces and their hydrophobic interactions.
