The air-water interfacial behavior of Tetronic 90R4 and Tetronic 701 was studied in the presence of sodium salts with different anions namely , , , , Cl, Br, , I, and SCN. Their presence in the subphase altered the arrangement of both tetronic molecules at the air-water interface. The limiting mean molecular area of the Langmuir film for both tetronics was found to be ion specific; it increased following the series < < < < Cl< Br< < I< SCN, which was found to be aligned with the Hofmeister series of anions.
