Two thiazolium-based surface active agents, ionic liquid (SAIL), N-dodecyl-thiazolium bromide and low melting point salt, N-dodecyl-4-methylithiazolium bromide were newly synthesized and their thermal stability were determined by TG and DSC. Antibacterial activity of these SAILs was determined by disc diffusion method on Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aerugonosa and Escherichia coli as well on Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. The self-assembly behaviors of newly synhesized SAILs in aqueous solutions were systematically explored. Results of surface tension and conductivity measurements showed that both surfactants display a superior surface activity in aqueous solutions compared to the imidazolium-based SAIL, 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (C12mimBr). Thermodynamic parameters of micelle formation were calculated and these parameters were related with results obtained from volumetric measurements. DFT calculations showed that methyl group on the thiazole ring has important role in the formation of micelles.
