Gemini表面活性剂分子结构对其水溶液中聚集行为的影响

Gemini表面活性剂是通过联接基团将两个具有亲水亲油性质的两亲结构单元在其亲水头基上或靠近亲水头基处以共价键方式连接而成的一类表面活性剂。这类表面活性剂由于联接基团的引入具有比传统单链表面活性剂更高的表面活性,同时分子结构中更多的可调控因素使其在水溶液中表现出更为丰富的自聚集行为,而且分子不同部位结构的改变对分子内或分子间相互作用产生不同的影响,可实现通过分子结构的设计有效调控其自聚集能力和聚集体结构。本综述将从联接基团、烷基链、亲水头基、反离子和其它功能性基团这五个方面概述近些年Gemini表面活性剂水溶液中聚集行为方面的研究进展,总结人们对Gemini表面活性剂分子间相互作用规律的认识,期望对于进一步发展这类高效的表面活性剂体系提供有益的帮助。

m-6-m型Gemini双季铵盐表面活性剂与DNA的相互作用

合成了5种m-6-m型Gemini双季铵盐表面活性剂,在对产物结构和表面活性进行分析的基础上,分别采用紫外分光光度法和荧光分光光度法考察了m-6-m型Gemini双季铵盐表面活性剂与DNA的相互作用.结果表明,m-6-m型Gemini表面活性剂的CMC随烷基疏水链的增长呈逐渐下降趋势.几种表面活性剂均没有使DNA的紫外吸收峰发生红移或蓝移现象,说明复合物无嵌插作用或氢键形成,表面活性剂与DNA作用后的吸光度随表面活性剂浓度的增大而增强,当表面活性剂的浓度相同时,吸光度随疏水链的增大而逐渐减弱.Gemini表面活性剂浓度增大导致荧光强度降低,表面活性剂与DNA作用时的猝灭为静态猝灭,随着疏水链长度的增长,荧光猝灭常数降低,表面活性剂与DNA之间的作用力减弱.     

支链醇对Gemini表面活性剂表面活性和胶束化行为的影响

Gemini表面活性剂是一类高效的新型表面活性剂,而醇是工业界和日化领域最常采用的表面活性剂助剂,因此研究不同结构的醇对Gemini表面活性剂表面活性和胶束化行为的影响规律和机理对于促进Gemini表面活性剂的发展和实际应用具有重要意义.利用表面张力、电导、等温滴定微量热,低温透射电镜和核磁共振研究了直链醇1-戊醇和具有相同主链的支链醇2-己醇与3-庚醇对具有不同长度连接基团阳离子季铵盐型Gemini表面活性剂C₁₂C_SC₁₂Br₂ （S=2,4,6,8,10,12）的表面活性和胶束化行为的影响,结果发现,支链醇能够显著影响表面活性剂在气/液界面的排布,使得C₂₀ （使溶剂的表面张力降低20 mN/m所需的表面活性剂浓度）和γ_CMC （CMC时表面张力值）随醇支化度的增加而显著降低,而支链醇对表面活性剂在溶液中的临界胶束浓度以及胶束的尺寸和形貌均没有明显影响,同时这些醇对Gemini表面活性剂的影响与连接基团的长度相关.阐述了上述结果产生的机理,将有助于指导如何选择合适结构的醇助剂去调控Gemini表面活性剂的表面和溶液性质.

利用分子动力学模拟方法研究了系列离子液体型Gemini咪唑表面活性剂在水溶液中的表面活性和胶束化能力. 模拟结果表明,压力张量法得到的表面张力模拟值偏小,需乘以修正系数矫正;分子动力学模拟得到的临界胶束浓度变化规律与实验相符,可以定性比较不同结构的离子液体型Gemini咪唑分子间的胶束化能力;温度的升高会加剧分子的热运动,不利于离子液体型Gemini咪唑表面活性剂在水溶液中形成胶束;此外,研究还发现联接基不同的离子液体型Gemini咪唑表面活性剂可能遵循不同的胶束化机理.S≤6时,单个分子自组装成胶球后发生聚合形成大胶团.随着咪唑上长烷烃链碳数的增加,[C_n-4-C_nim]胶束化能力提高;而随着联接链长度增加,[C₁₀-S-C₁₀im]胶束化能力降低;当S ＞6时,分子联接基弯曲并伸入其它分子烷烃链内部以减小头基分离力,从而形成稳定的胶束或胶团.随着联接基团亚甲基数的增加,头基斥力减小,附加疏水相互作用增强,[C₁₀-S-C₁₀im]胶束化能力提高.

Surface tension and aggregation properties of novel cationic gemini surfactants with diethylammonium headgroups and a diamido spacer

A series of novel cationic gemini surfactants with diethylammonium headgroups and a diamido spacer were synthesized, and their surface and bulk properties were investigated by surface tension, electrical conductivity, fluorescence, viscosity, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. An interesting phenomenon, that is, the obvious decline in surface tension upon increasing concentration above the critical micelle concentration (cmc), was found in these gemini surfactant solutions, and two explanations were proposed. This surface tension behavior could be explained by the rapid increase in the counterion activity in the bulk phase or the continued filling of the interface with increasing surfactant concentration above the cmc. More interestingly, not only vesicles but also the surfactant-concentration-induced vesicle to larger aggregate (spongelike aggregate) transition and the salt-induced vesicle and spongelike aggregate to micelle transition were found in the aqueous solutions of these gemini surfactants. The spongelike aggregate that is first reported in the cationic gemini surfactant-water binary system is probably caused by the adhesion and fusion of vesicles at high surfactant concentration.     

Effect of chain length on transfection properties of spermine-based gemini surfactants

The synthesis and associated structure-activity relationships for gene transfection of a series of spermine-derived cationic gemini surfactants incorporating diamino acid headgroups and either identical (symmetrical) or different (unsymmetrical) lipophilic tailgroups is described. Transfection activity is found to depend critically upon the structural elements present.     

Synthesis of nonionic reduced-sugar based bola amphiphiles and gemini surfactants with an α,ω-diamino-(oxa)alkyl spacer

Reduced-sugar based gemini surfactants with an α,ω-diamino-(oxa)alkyl spacer exhibit a rich pH-dependent aggregation behavior and are efficient DNA carriers in gene transfection. Herein, we describe an improved synthetic procedure for these amphiphiles. First, a series of novel nonionic bolaform amphiphiles with identical headgroups and α,ω-diamino-(oxa)alkyl spacers were synthesized by reductive aminations involving α,ω-diaminoalkanes and the appropriate sugars or aldehydes. The bolaform compounds were used as starting materials for the synthesis of the corresponding reduced-sugar based gemini surfactants in a reductive alkylation reaction employing a polymer-bound cyanoborohydride. A series of new gemini surfactants have been synthesized and characterized.     

杂双子表面活性剂的研究进展

Role of the spacer of cationic gemini amphiphiles in the condensation of DNA

The condensation of calf thymus DNA into the cholesteric-like psi-phase was observed by circular dichroism in liposome suspensions formulated with specific cationic gemini surfactants. The stereochemistry of the gemini spacer, the presence of specific functional groups, and the covalent link between the headgroups are fundamental issues in the condensation of DNA. Transmission electron microscopy images showed a multilamellar morphology, which corresponds with condensation.     

Synthesis and aqueous solution properties of homologous gemini surfactants with different head groups

A series of homologous gemini surfactants possessing identical hydrophobic chains but different ionic head groups (cationic, anionic, zwitterionic) were synthesized, and their aqueous solution properties were examined. The results showed that the surface activities of gemini surfactants are superior to those of corresponding conventional monomeric surfactants, and molecular arrangements of gemini surfactants at the air-water interface are tighter than those of corresponding conventional surfactants. It was also found that zwitterionic gemini surfactant possesses the highest surface activity among the three surfactants. The behavior at the air-water interface is closely related to the molecular structural features of surfactants, which provide an indication for synthesizing highly-efficient surfactants.      

Interactions of quaternary ammonium salt-type gemini surfactants with sodium poly(styrene sulfonate)

The interactions of cationic gemini surfactants, 1,2-bis(alkyldimethylammonio)ethane dibromide (m-2-m: m is hydrocarbon chain length, m = 10 and 12), and an anionic polymer, sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS), have been characterized by several techniques such as tensiometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering. The surface tension of gemini surfactant/PSS mixed systems decreases with surfactant concentration, reaching break points, which are taken as critical aggregation concentrations (cac). The surface tension at the cac of mixtures is higher than that of single surfactants, and it is found that at concentrations above the cac, the surfactant molecules are associated with the polymer in the bulk. The 12-2-12/PSS mixed system shows higher surface activity than both 10-2-10/PSS and the monomeric surfactant of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide/PSS systems. Fluorescence measurements of these mixed systems suggest the formation of a complex with a highly hydrophobic environment in the bulk of the solution. Additionally, dynamic light scattering measurements show that the hydrodynamic diameter of the 12-2-12/PSS mixed system is smaller than that of PSS only at low concentration, indicating interactions between surfactant and polymer. These result from the electrostatic attraction between ammonium and sulfate headgroups as well as the hydrophobic interaction between their hydrocarbon chains.     

Surface activity and micellar properties of anionic gemini surfactants and their analogues

The properties of didodecyldiphenylether disulfonate gemini-type surfactants have been studied and compared to mono-alkylated and monosulfonated analogous surfactants. Dynamic and equilibrium surface tension measurements indicate that the gemini surfactants have a higher surface activity compared to that of the monoalkyl analogues. The gemini-type surfactants have much larger surface area per molecule, opposite effect of carbon number on CMC and considerable swelling of the micelles upon increasing surfactant concentration. Determination of aggregation numbers by fluorescence measurements reveals that the longer chain gemini surfactants form micelles having less than 10 molecules per micelle.
