Critical micelle concentration and self-aggregation of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in aqueous glycine and glycylglycine solutions at different temperatures

Conductivities, densities and ultrasonic speeds measurements of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) in aqueous solutions of glycine (Gly) and glycylglycine (Gly-Gly) have been made at various temperatures. The critical micelle concentration (CMC), the degree of ionization (??) of the micelles, standard free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the micellization process (??G _m ^° , ??H _m ^° , and ??S _m ^° ) for the present systems were estimated at different temperatures. The CMC values of HTAB in aqueous Gly and Gly-Gly were also evaluated by density and ultrasonic speed measurements. Apparent molar volumes, (V _?), apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution, (V _? ^° ), apparent molar compressibilities, (K _?), of HTAB in the pre- and post-micellar regions, and volume change on micellization (??V _? ^m ) were also estimated. Large positive values of T??S _m ^° and small negative values of ??H _m ^° suggest that micellization process is driven primarily by entropy increase. The increase in ??V _? ^m and K _? with rise in temperature is indicative of less compact micellar structure of HTAB in presence of amino acid additives. These data suggest that amino acids are solubilised probably in the palisade layer of the micelle.     

Octadecylamine cobalt(III) dimethyl glyoximato complexes: synthesis,thermodynamics of micellization,steady-state photolysis and biological activities

A new class of surfactant–cobalt(III) complexes of the type trans-[Co(DH)₂(OA)X], where DH = dimethylglyoxime, OA = octadecylamine, X = Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, N₃ ^?, NO₂ ^?, SCN^? or OA, were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of these surfactant–cobalt(III) complexes in ethanol solution were obtained by measuring absorption at ~250 nm. Specific conductivity data (at 303–313 K) served for the evaluation of the temperature-dependent CMC and the thermodynamics of micellization (ΔG _m ⁰ , ΔH _m ⁰ and ΔS _m ⁰ ). Steady-state photolysis and cyclic voltammetry of the complexes were studied. The surfactant–cobalt(III) complexes were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against various microorganisms.     

The densities and viscosities of aqueous solutions of glycine and glycylglycine containing carbohydrates and structural properties of the ternary systems

Apparent molar volumes, V _? for glycine (Gly) and glycylglycine (Gly-Gly) in aqueous D(+)-glucose and sucrose solutions have been determined from solution density, ρ measurements at 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K as a function of the concentration of solutes (Gly and Gly-Gly). The standard partial molar volume, V _? ⁰ , transfer volume, ΔV _?(tr) ⁰ , for Gly and Gly-Gly from water to aqueous carbohydrate solutions, partial molar expansibility, E _? ⁰ , and hydration number, n _H of solute have been calculated. The viscosity data have been analyzed by means of Jones-Dole equation to obtain A- and B-coefficients, free energy of activation of viscous flow per mole of solvent, Δμ ₁ ^0# , and solute, Δμ ₂ ^0# , enthalpy, ΔH ^0#, and entropy of activation, ΔS ^0# of viscous flow were evaluated. The behavior of these parameters has been interpreted in terms of solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions.     

Energies of the gas-phase deprotonation of nitro-substituted benzenesulfonic and benzoic acids: The role of the conformation isomerism of sulfonic acids

The Gibbs energies of deprotonation Δ_r G ₂₉₈ ^○ of gaseous benzoic acid (BA), benzenesulfonic acid (BSA) and their six mono-, di-, and trinitro-substituted derivatives are calculated by means of B3LYP/cc-pVTZ and MP2/6-311++G**. The dependences of Δ_r G ₂₉₈ ^○ on the number and the position of nitro groups in an aromatic ring are revealed, as is the possibility of intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) formation in ortho-substituted acids. It is found that the deprotonation of conformers of ortho-nitro-substituted BSA without IHBs requires less energy (by 4–5 kcal/mol) than for conformers with IHBs. It is shown that the Δ_r G ₂₉₈ ^○ values for substituted BA are ～22 kcal/mol higher than the corresponding values for substituted BSA. A trend of diminishing Δ_r G ₂₉₈ ^○ for nitro-substituted acids is observed when the number of nitro groups is increased, and di- and trinitro-substituted BSA may therefore be considered superstrong acids.     

Effect of solvation on the thermodynamics of formation for 18-crown-6 ether complexes with glycine and triglycine in water-ethanol solutions at 298 K

Using data from calorimetric titration, standard thermodynamic parameters logK ^○, Δ_r G ^○, Δ_r H ^○, and TΔ_r S ^○ of the formation of 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) molecular complex with triglycine (3Gly), [3Gly18C6] in H₂O-EtOH solvents with contents of ethanol x ranging between 0.0 and 0.5 mole fractions are calculated. Increasing the concentration of EtOH in the solvent is found to raise the reaction’s exothermicity from ?5.9 to ?21.0 kJ mol^?1 and logK ^○ [3Gly18C6] from 1.10 to 2.53. A comparative analysis of the effect the composition of H₂O-EtOH solvent has on the reactions of [3Gly18C6] and [Gly18C6] formation is performed. As in case of [Gly18C6] formation, the changes in the complex’s enthalpy of solvation Δ_tr H ^○([3Gly18C6]) are close to the Δ_tr H ^○(18C6) parameter and differ considerably from the Δ_tr H ^○(3Gly) value, testifying to the crucial role 18C6 plays in changing the [3Gly18C6] state of solvation. The ratio between solvation contributions from reagents to Δ_tr G ^○ of [3Gly18C6] formation is found to differ from that the one between the corresponding contributions to Δ_tr H _r ^o : in transferring from water to H₂O-EtOH mixtures, the increase in the positive Δ_tr G ^○(18C6) values is slight and therefore negligible when compared to Δ_tr G ^○(3Gly).     

Thermodynamic transfer functions for urea and thiourea from water to water-tetrahydrofuran mixtures from precise vapor-pressure measurements

The rate of change of the standard chemical potential with solvent composition, \(\partial \bar G_0 /\partial Z\) , has been calculated from precise vapor-pressure measurements for urea at three temperatures and for thiourea at 298.15°K in water-tetrahydrofuran (THF) mixtures. From these results the standard free energy of transfer ΔG _t ^o of the solutes from water to various water-THF mixtures has been obtained together with the standard molar entropy ΔS _t ^o and the standard molar enthalpy ΔH _t ^o of transfer at 298.15°K in the case of urea. The quantity ΔG _t ^o for urea is negative in the water-rich region and positive for mole fractions THF>0.2. There is a nearly complete compensation between ΔH _t ^o andTΔS _t ^o at 298.15°K up to mole fraction THF=0.5. These phenomena can be partly related to the structure in H₂O-THF mixtures.

Therm odynamic compatibility in the polymeric system cellulose nitrate-cellulose acetate is studied by reversed-phase gas chromatography. The excess enthalpy ΔH _ji ^E , entropy ΔS _ji ^E , and Gibbs energy ΔG _ji ^E of mixing of the components, and also the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter χ_ji are estimated.     

Thermodynamic study of complex formation between Kryptofix-5 and Sn2+ in several individual and binary non-aqueous solvents using a conductometric method

The complex formation between 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (Kryptofix-5) and Sn²⁺ ions was studied in pure acetonitrile (AN), dimethylformamide (DMF), 1,4-dioxane (DOX), and methanol (MeOH) and in acetonitrile-1,4-dioxane (AN-DOX), acetonitrile-dichloromethane (AN-DCM), acetonitrile-methanol (AN-MeOH), and acetonitrile-dimethylformamide (AN-DMF) binary mixed solvent solutions at different temperatures using conductometric method. 1: 1 [ML] complex is formed between the metal cation and ligand in most solvent systems but in the cases of AN-MeOH (MeOH = 90 mol %) binary mixture and in pure MeOH a 2: 1 [M₂L] complex was observed, that is the stoichiometry of complexes may be changed by the nature of the medium. The stability order of the (Kryptofix-5·Sn)²⁺ complex in the studied binary mixed solvent solutions at 25°C was found to be AN-DOX > AN-DCM > AN-MeOH > AN-DMF and in the case of pure solvents at 25°C the sequence was the following: AN > DMF > DOX. A non-linear behavior was observed for changes of logK _f of (Kryptofix-5·Sn)²⁺ complex versus the composition of the binary mixed solvents, which was explained in terms of solvent-solvent intractions and also by the preferential solvation of the f species involved in the complexation reaction. The values of standard enthalpy changes (ΔH _c ^○ ) for complexation reactions were obtained from the slope of the Van’t Hoff plots and the changes in standard entropy (ΔS _c ^○ ) were calculated from the relationship ΔG _{c, 298.15} ^○ = ΔH _c ^○ ? 298.15ΔS _c ^○ . The results show that in most cases, the (Kryptofix-5·Sn)²⁺ complex is both enthalpy and entropy stabilized.     

Size effect on thermodynamic parameters for the peanut-like CaMoO4 micro/nano reaction systems

Peanut-like CaMoO₄ micro/nano structures with three different sizes were harvested by a simple reverse-microemulsion method at room temperature. Employing synthesized micro/nano CaMoO₄ and HCl as reaction systems, thermodynamic parameters such as standard molar enthalpy of reaction Δ_r H _m ^θ , standard molar Gibbs free energy of activation Δ _r ^≠ G _m ^θ , standard molar enthalpy of activation Δ _r ^≠ H _m ^θ , and standard molar entropy of activation Δ _r ^≠ S _m ^θ were successfully acquired for the first time by in situ microcalorimetry. Furthermore, change regularities of the thermodynamic parameters for the micro/nano reaction systems were obtained and discussed. It demonstrated that size effect has significant influence on thermodynamic parameters of micro/nano material reaction systems.     

Activation parameters of supercritical and gas-phase β-pinene thermal isomerization

New data on enthalpy and entropy contributions to the energy barrier of β-pinene thermal isomerization were obtained. The rate of β-pinene conversion is higher in supercritical EtOH (P = 120 atm) than in the gas phase (P ≤ 1 atm, without solvent, or for inert carrier gas N₂) at equal temperatures. The highest activation energy E _Σ of total β-pinene conversion is also observed in reactions in the supercritical (sc) condition. Activation parameters ΔH _Σ ^# , ΔS _Σ ^# , and ΔG _Σ ^# depend strongly on the reaction pressure. Thus, at P ≤ 1 atm (gas-phase reaction) the values of ΔS _Σ ^# are negative, while at sc conditions at P = 120 atm is positive. The linear dependences lnk _Σ0 ? E _Σ and ΔS _Σ ^# ? ΔS _Σ ^# indicate an isokinetic relation (IKR) and enthalpy-entropy compensation effect (EEC). The isokinetic temperature was calculated (T _iso = 605.5 ± 22.7 K). It was shown that elevation of temperature reduces the value of ΔG _Σ ^# (T) upon sc thermolysis only, whereas in all gas-phase reactions ΔG _Σ ^# (T) increases. At equal reaction temperatures, the greatest values of K _eq ^# (T) proved to be typical for thermolysis in sc-EtOH. We hypothesize that the rate of total β-pinene conversion increases dramatically due to a considerable shift in equilibrium toward higher concentrations of activated complex y _TS ^# . A detailed analysis of activation parameters shows that the IKR and EEC coincide, evidence of a common mechanism of β-pinene conversion observed under different reaction conditions, including thermolysis in sc-EtOH.     

Molecular structure of a water-polyethylene glycol-KOH system, according to densitometry and viscometry data

The dynamic viscosity and density of a water-polyethylene glycol-KOH system are measured at temperatures of 293.15 to 323.15 K in concentrations ranging from 0.00001 and 0.001 (mole fractions). The activation parameters of viscous flow (ΔG _η ^≠ , ΔH _η ^≠ , and ΔS _η ^≠ ), structural temperature (T ₀), the partial molar volume of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in solution $\left( {\tilde V} \right)$ , intrinsic viscosity([η]), and the Huggins constant (K _H), are calculated. It is found that PEG has a structuring effect on water in water-PEG and water-PEG-KOH systems, with the PEG structuring effect in the latter being somewhat attenuated by the destructuring influence of KOH.     

Aggregation behavior of silicone surfactants in ethylammonium nitrate ionic liquid

The aggregation behavior of two silicone surfactants (monomeric and Gemini) was studied by surface tension measurements in a room temperature ionic liquid, ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), at various temperatures. A series of parameters, including critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface tension at the CMC (γ _CMC), adsorption efficiency (pC ₂₀), and effectiveness of surface tension reduction (Π _CMC), were obtained. By comparing the silicone surfactants with traditional surfactants, we deduced that the surface activity of the silicone surfactants in EAN was superior to the activity of other surfactants. In addition, from the CMC values and their temperature dependence, we estimated the thermodynamic parameters of the micelle formation, $ \Delta G_m^0 $ , $ \Delta H_m^0 $ , and $ \Delta S_m^0 $ . It was revealed that the micellization of the silicone surfactants is entropy driven at low temperature and enthalpy driven at high temperature. Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements were also carried out to study the micellization of Gemini silicone surfactant. ¹H NMR was performed to study the silicone surfactant micelle formation mechanism in EAN.     

Adsorption and aggregation properties of novel star-shaped gluconamide-type cationic surfactants in aqueous solution

The adsorption and aggregation behavior of novel star-shaped gluconamide-type cationic surfactants N-dodecyl-N,N-bis[(3-D-gluconylamido)propyl]-N-alkylammonium bromide (C_nDBGB, where n represents hydrocarbon chain lengths of 10, 12, and 14) has been studied on the basis of static/dynamic surface tension, conductivity, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data. The static surface tension of the C_nDBGB aqueous solution measured at the critical micelle concentration (CMC) is observed to be significantly lower than that of the corresponding monomeric surfactants. The dynamic surface tension results indicate that adsorption process of above CMC is a mixed diffusion–kinetic adsorption mechanism. From the results of temperature dependent conductivity measurements, we could obtain the degree of counterion binding (β) and the thermodynamic parameters such as standard free energy (ΔG _mic ⁰ ), enthalpy (ΔH _mic ⁰ ), and entropy (ΔS _mic ⁰ ) of aggregation. With a combination of the DLS and TEM data, a size transformation of the micelles is suggested to occur with an increase in the concentration.     

Correlation between the properties of a compound and the polynomial coefficients of a molecular Graph’s adjacency matrix

An additive scheme with 11 constants is derived from the coefficients of characteristic polynomials (CCPs) of adjacency matrix A of irregular molecular graphs (IMG) for molecules that contain a bivalent heteroatom -SH or -OH at the beginning of the chain. The structural significance of the CCPs to adjacency matrix A′ is established. Our formula is used to calculate the enthalpies of formation Δ_f H _{liq 298K} ^○ of liquid alkanethiols (mercaptanes) C _n H_{2n + 1}SH and Δ_f H _{liq 298K} ^○ of liquid saturated monoalcohols C _n H_{2n + 1}OH that remain unstudied experimentally.     

Stabilization of water structure in ammonium hydrogenphosphate solutions

Radio-frequency permittivity and dielectric loss of (NH₄)₂ HPO₄ solutions at 288–308 K in the water permittivity dispersion region (7.5–25 GHz) are studied. Low-frequency electrical conductivities of these solutions are measured, and ionic losses at high frequencies are calculated. The analysis is carried out in terms of the Cole-Cole relaxation model. Static dielectric constants ?_s and the activation times τ and thermodynamic parameters of activation (ΔH _? ⁺⁺ , ΔG _? ⁺⁺ , and TΔS _? ⁺⁺ ) for the dielectric relaxation of the solutions are calculated. The values of ?_s decrease in response to increasing salt concentration at all temperatures. The increasing τ and ΔH _? ⁺⁺ values indicate the stabilization of water structure in solutions where the anion and cation are hydrophilically hydrated.     

Calorimetric determination of the standard enthalpy of the first ionization of aqueous sulfur dioxide or ‘sulfurous acid’ at 25°C

Previous investigations of the first ionization of aqueous sulfur dioxide or ‘sulfurous acid’ have led to ΔH ₁ ⁰ values ranging from ?15 to ?24.5 kJ-mol^?1. To help with selection of a ‘best’ value for this enthalpy of ionization we have made calorimetric measurements of enthalpies associated with adding dilute perchloric acid to dilute aqueous sulfur dioxide and sodium bisulfite. Results have led to ΔH ₁ ⁰ =?17.4₀ kJ-mol^?1, which we have combined with K₁=0.0139 and the related ΔG ₁ ⁰ =10.60 kJ-mol^?1 to obtain ΔS ₁ ⁰ =?93.₉ J-K^?1-mol^?1 for the first ionization, all referring to 25°C.     

Surface and micellar properties of some amphiphilic drugs in various salt solutions

In this work the effect adding of various electrolytes on the solution properties of three amphiphilic drugs was investigated. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) values, determined on the basis of surface tension measurements, were found to decrease with the increasing salt concentration; this decrease was dependent upon the nature of added ion. Coions (K⁺ and Na⁺) remained in the aqueous phase and were almost equally efficient in decreasing the cmc. Counterions (Cl^? and Br^?) concentrated on the micellar surface and reduced electrostatic repulsion. The smaller the hydrated counterions, the stronger they interacted with the micellar surface. The decrease of cmc was therefore more pronounced for Br^? ions than that for Cl^? ones. The observed changes in A _min and Γ_max were explained in terms of the cmc behavior. The values of both ΔG _m ^pO and ΔG _ads ^pO suggest that the drugs tend to form micelles more readily in the presence of salts.     

Features of the Diels-Alder reaction between 9,10-diphenylanthracene and 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione

The Diels-Alder reaction between substituted anthracenes 1a?1j and 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5 (2) is studied. In all cases except one, the reaction proceeds on the most active 9,10-atoms of substituted anthracenes. The orthogonality of the two phenyl groups at the 9,10-position of diene 1a is found to shield 9,10-reactive centers. No dienophiles with C=C bonds are shown to participate in the Diels-Alder reaction with 1a; however, the reaction 1a + 2 proceeds with the very active dienophile 2,4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione. It is shown that attachment occurs on the less active but sterically accessible 1,4-reactive center of diene 1a. The structure of adduct 3a is proved by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The following parameters are obtained for reaction 1a + 2 ? 3a in toluene at 25°C: K _eq = 2120 M^?1, ΔH _f ^≠ = 58.6 kJ/mol, ΔS _f ^≠ = ?97 J/(mol K), ΔV _f ^≠ = ?17.2 cm³/mol, ΔH _b ^≠ = 108.8 kJ/mol, ΔS _b ^≠ = 7.3 J/(mol K), ΔV _b ^≠ = ?0.8 cm³/mol, ΔH _r-n = ?50.2 kJ/mol, ΔS _r-n = ?104.3 J/(mol K), ΔV _r-n = ?15.6 cm³/mol. It is concluded that the values of equilibrium constants of the reactions 1a?1j + 2 ? 3a?3j vary within 4 × 10¹?10¹¹ M^?1.     

The nature and the mechanism of ion transfer in tungstates Me2+{WO4} (Ca, Sr, Ba) and Me 2 3+ {WO4}3 (Al, Sc, In) according to the data acquired by the tubandt method

The Tubandt method of electrolysis is used for studying the nature of ionic carriers in ceramics of tungstates Me²⁺{WO₄} (Ca, Sr, Ba) and Me ₂ ³⁺ {WO₄}₃ (Al, Sc, In) which are solid electrolytes. These compounds have the salt-like islet structure with isolated tetrahedrons {WO ₄ ^2? } and are crystallized in the allied structural types of scheelite (CaWO₄) for Me²⁺ and Sc tungstate (Sc₂{WO₄}₃) for Me³⁺. The electrolysis is carried out in 2- or 3-section cells (?)Pt|M ₂ ^n/n+ {WO₄}|Me ₂ ^n/n+ {WO₄}|Pt(+) in air atmosphere at the temperature of ～900°C and cell voltage of 4 and 300 V. All experiments without exception demonstrate a decrease in the mass of the cathodic section of cells. This points to the negative charge of ionic mass carriers and their transfer towards the Pt⁽⁺⁾ electrode. The cathodic briquette mass loss Δm ^(?) depends linearly on the charge passed through a cell. In all experiments with MeWO₄ tungstates, the anodic disk mass remains constant. The electrolysis of Me₂(WO₄)₃ cells is always accompanied by an increase in the anolyte mass Δm ⁽⁺⁾; however, in all experiments, Δm ^(?) > Δm ⁽⁺⁾. All data on mass variation and the results of studying the composition of nearelectrode electrolyte layers by XRD and SEM methods correspond to the condition $t_{WO_4^{2 - } } > t_C $ (C is the cation), i.e., {WO ₄ ^2? } anions pertain to the major ionic carriers. The transport number $t_{WO_4^{2 - } } $ is calculated based on the Faraday law from Δm ^(?). It is shown that the second ionic carrier with the mobility even higher than that of {WO ₄ ^2? } is the O^2? ion. For middle values of transport numbers, their ratio is shown to be $t_{O^{2 - } } $ (0.5–0.8) > (0.2–0.5) $t_{WO_4^{2 - } } $ . No results that would confirm the involvement of Me²⁺ and Me³⁺ ions in conduction are obtained.     

Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of cadmium tellurites in the range of 298.15–673 K

The isobaric heat capacity of cadmium tellurites is studied by dynamic calorimetry in the range of 298.15–673 K to derive the equation for the C _p ^○ ～ f(T) dependence, and to determine the thermodynamic functions. The C _p ^○ ～ f(T) dependences exhibit sharp λ-shaped anomalous effects due apparently to secondorder phase transitions.
