To calculate the area of a molecule, use the descriptor method. Descriptors are numerical characteristics of molecular structure. An older method is increments of functional groups.

Article A Survey of Quantitative Descriptions of Molecular Structure

Thank you Dr. Yuri Mirgorod . I want the determine CTAB surface area experimentally. can you please suggest.

Look for the Langmuir-Blodgett method for monomolecular surfactant films and calculation of the molecular surface.

Thank you so much Dr. Yuri Mirgorod .
