An investigation to evaluate the mechanism of the hydrotropic action of a long chain diacid was made by determining the coassociation structures with a straight chain amphiphilic molecule of sufficient size to form long range order structures. The hydrotropic mechanism was found in the transition of a liquid crystalline struture to an isotropic solution. The mechanism was identical for aqueous solutions and water‐poor inverse micellar solutions.
