A list of suspected surfactants from Schymanski et al. 2014. DOI: 10.1021/es4044374 with representative structures added. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2621971

Updated 21/11/2019 to contain representative explicit structures for species observed in the 2014 study. Note that for some species multiple isomers are possible; only one representative has been added per formula. Structures created using RChemMass (https://github.com/schymane/RChemMass/).

Nov 14 update: added CSVs from major sheets of interest.

A compiled list of eco-labeled surfactants from Environmental Institute (EI, SK) and the German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA, DE) assigning chemical structures to UVCB chemicals based on names and prior knowledge. Provided by Nikiforos Alygizakis, EI.

SURFPRO is a database of 1624 surfactants and their physical properties, including 1395 experimental measurements of the critical micelle concentration (pCMC), 972 air-water surface tension at CMC  (γ_CMC), and Tmax, pC20 and further properties for over 657 surfactants curated from 223 literature sources. The SurfProf GitHub repository contains all code. See Hödl et al. (2025) DOI:10.1039/D4DD00393D. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15750784.

Update: v1.1 PubChem deposition successful, CIDs updated.
