有机电解质在胶束催化聚苯乙烯氯甲基化反应中的作用

在实施聚苯乙烯氯甲基化反应的胶束催化体系中加入四丁基溴化铵 ((Bu)₄NBr, TBAB), 研究了有机电解质TBAB对胶束催化反应的影响规律. 实验结果表明, 在非离子表面活性剂NP-10及阴离子表面活性剂SDS的胶束催化体系中, TBAB的加入使聚苯乙烯氯甲基化反应的速率明显增大, 前者尤为突出；而在阳离子表面活性剂CTAB的胶束催化体系中, TBAB的加入几乎对反应速率无促进作用. 这种结果一方面归因于加入电解质TBAB会降低SDS的临界胶束浓度, 从而增强对聚苯乙烯四氯化碳溶液的增溶能力；更主要的原因是TBAB的丁基与表面活性剂碳氢链间的疏水相互作用会使季铵离子(Bu)₄N⁺嵌入SDS的胶束之中, 结合到NP-10的胶束表面, 使SDS胶束的阴离子头基对亲核取代反应(控制步骤)的禁阻作用得以减缓, 使NP-10的胶束表面携带了正电荷, 显著促进亲核取代反应的进行, 而对于CTAB的胶束, 由于静电排斥作用, 季铵离子(Bu)₄N⁺不能接近CTAB的胶束, 故TBAB的加入对聚苯乙烯氯甲基化反应不产生作用.

Chloromethylation of 2-chloroethylbenzene catalyzed by micellar catalysis

The chloromethylation reaction of 2-chloroethylbenzene was performed successfully by micellar catalysis in the biphasic oil/water system. The effects of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants on the reaction were compared. The mechanism of chloromethylation reaction and the mechanism of micellar catalysis were investigated. The results show that the micellar catalysis is an effective way to realize the chloromethylation of 2-chloroethylbenzene, and the cationic surfactant shows the most effectiveness. The longer the hydrophobic chain of the cationic surfactant is, the better the catalysis effect will be, and the addition of inorganic electrolyte into the aqueous phase can markedly promote the catalysis effect.     

Cationic Surfactants in Interfacial Synthesis of Linear Aromatic Polyester

Abstract

The polycondensation of terephthaloyl chloride and bisphenol A was used as a model reaction for the production of linear aromatic polyesters in stirred interfacial polymerization. The evaluation of several catalytic and surfactant additives to this system was based upon yields and intrinsic viscosities of the products obtained with both low and high concentrations of cationic surfactants of the quaternary ammonium type, of an anionic surfactant, and of a non-micelle forming quaternary ammonium salt. Although yields were similar in most cases, viscosity differences were marked. The highest intrinsic viscosities, hence highest degrees of polymerization, were found for preparations where cationic surfactant in excess of the critical micelle concentration was employed. Modes of action for such surfactants are suggested. The possibilities include, but are not limited to, solubilization of the product, solubilization of either or both monomers, emulsification of the liquid phases, catalytic phase transfer of one monomer, and micellar catalysis.     

Microstructure of un-neutralized hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion latex in different surfactant solutions

At low pH conditions and in the presence of anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsions (HASE) exhibit pronounced interaction that results in the solubilization of the latex. The interaction between HASE latex and surfactant was studied using various techniques, such as light transmittance, isothermal titration calorimetry, laser light scattering, and electrophoresis. For anionic surfactant, noncooperative hydrophobic binding dominates the interaction at concentrations lower than the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) (C < CAC). However, cooperative hydrophobic binding controls the formation of mixed micelles at high surfactant concentrations (C > or = CAC), where the cloudy solution becomes clear. For cross-linked HASE latex, anionic surfactant binds only noncooperatively to the latex and causes it to swell. For cationic surfactant, electrostatic interaction occurs at very low surfactant concentrations, resulting in phase separation. With further increase in surfactant concentration, noncooperative hydrophobic and cooperative hydrophobic interactions dominate the binding at low and high surfactant concentrations, respectively. For anionic and cationic surfactant systems, the CAC is lower than the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of surfactants in water. In addition, counterion condensation plays an important role during the binding interaction between HASE latex and ionic surfactants. In the case of nonionic surfactants, free surfactant micelles are formed in solution due to their relatively low CMC values, and HASE latexes are directly solubilized into the micellar core of nonionic surfactants.     

Micellar solubilization thermodynamics of acetophenone in surfactant mixtures: Case of benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride and trimethyltetradecylammonium chloride

The thermodynamics of micellar solubilization of acetophenone in mixtures of two cationic surfactants [benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride +trimethyltetradecylammonium chloride] has been derived from calorimetric measurements at controlled solute activity. The partition coefficient between micelles and water as well as the standard enthalpy and entropy of transfer between micelles and water were calculated. The results were compared to the case of benzylalcohol in the same cationic mixtures. For acetophenone, the variation of all thermodynamic transfer functions with micellar composition may be described by the regular solution formalism. The same conclusion has been achieved for most polar solutes in various surfactant mixtures: favorable interaction between unlike surfactants induces an unfavorable micellar solubilization. Exceptions should be found with the cases where solute solubilization induces profound micellar changes. It seems to be the case with some alcohols in the cationic surfactant mixtures studied.     

Organotrihalide Complexes: α-Nucleophiles and Effective Oxidizing Agents in Decomposition Reactions of Organophosphorus Compounds in Water and Surfactant Micelles

We have studied the nucleophilic and oxidative reactivity of the system HOBr/BrO^–, in water and in the presence of different types of surfactants, relative to 4-nitrophenyldiethylphosphate, 4-nitrophenyl- 4´-toluenesulfonate (nucleophilic substitution), and 4-nitrophenol (oxidation). As the source of "active" bromine, we used organotrihalide complexes. The micellar effects of the surfactants in nucleophilic substitution reactions are adequately described within both a pseudophase distribution model and an ion-exchange model. Just transferring the reaction from water to micelles of a cationic surfactant leads to an increase in the observed rates of reaction of the BrO^– ion with esters by up to a factor of 20-30 and an increase in the rate for reaction of HOBr with nitrophenol by up to a factor of 5, while the HOBr/BrO^– system is one of the most effective systems in decomposition of organophosphorus compounds.     

Micellar catalysis on the electron transfer reactions of iron(III)-polypyridyl complexes with organic sulfides-importance of hydrophobic interactions

The oxidation of organic sulfides with iron(III)-polypyridyl complexes [Fe(NN)3]3+ proceeds through an electron transfer mechanism and an increase in the methanol content in the methanol-water mixture favors the reaction. The reaction is catalyzed by both the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The micellar catalysis in the presence of SDS is accounted for in terms of strong binding of the cationic oxidant with the anionic surfactant and the development of positive charge on sulfur center of substrate in the transition state. The micellar catalysis observed on the reaction involving a trication, [Fe(NN)3]3+, in the presence of CTAB indicates the importance of hydrophobic interaction between the micelle and hydrophobic ligand of [Fe(NN)3]3+. The micellar catalysis is explained in terms of a pseudophase ion exchange model.     

Spectrophotometric study of anionic azo-dye light yellow (X6G) interaction with surfactants and its micellar solubilization in cationic surfactant micelles

Solubilization and interaction of azo-dye light yellow (X6G) at/with cationic surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) was investigated spectrophotometricaly. The effect of cationic micelles on solubilization of anionic azo dye in aqueous micellar solutions of cationic surfactants was studied at pH 7 and 25 degrees C. The binding of dye to micelles implied a bathochromic shift in dye absorption spectra that indicates dye-surfactant interaction. The results showed that the solubility of dye increased with increasing surfactant concentration, as a consequence of the association between the dye and the micelles. The binding constants, K(b), were obtained from experimental absorption spectra. By using pseudo-phase model, the partition coefficients between the bulk water and surfactant micelles, K(x), were calculated. Gibbs energies of binding and distribution of dye between the bulk water and surfactant micelles were estimated. The results show favorable solubilization of dye in CTAB micelles.     

The Solubilization of Isophorone in Ionic Surfactant Solutions

Solubilization of isophorone was studied in an anionic and a cationic surfactant solution of SDS and BKC respectively. Solubility of isophorone increases with increase in the surfactant concentrations due to solubilization in micelles. FT NMR spectroscopy was used to understand the location and orientation of isophorone at the micellar interface.
