The present study deals with the solubility enhancement of the two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) anthracene and pyrene in the aqueous micellar system of the cationic ester-containing cleavable gemini surfactant ethane-1,2-diyl-bis(N,N-dimethyl-N-tetradecylammoniumacetoxy) dichloride (14-E2-14 = C 14 H 29 (CH 3 ) 2 N + (CH 2 COOCH 2 ) 2 N + (CH 3 ) 2 C 14 H 29  · 2Cl − )), and its equimolar binary mixtures with some typical conventional cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactants. The surface tension and conductivity measurements were used to evaluate the physicochemical parameters such as the critical micelle concentration ( CMC ), the interaction parameter ( β   m  ) and Gibbs excess free energy of micellization (Δ G   ex    m  ) of the systems. The extent of solubilization of the micellar systems towards PAHs has been quantified in terms of molar solublization ratio ( MSR ), micellar/water partition coefficient (ln  K  m ) and the standard Gibbs free energy of solubilization (Δ G   s    0  ). Above the CMC, all studied single as well as binary gemini-conventional surfactant systems show an increase in solubilization of the PAHs. For pure systems, the  MSR  value of Brij 58 was found to be significantly higher than that of the other amphiphiles. Amongst the mixed surfactant systems, the solubility enhancement of anthracene is found to be maximum in the 14-E2-14 + SDS/SDBS system whereas the system14-E2-14 + Brij 58 shows a higher solubility for pyrene.
