Excess enthalpies of solution of some primary and secondary alcohols in sodium dodecylsulfate micellar solutions

The exces enthalpies of solution of some primary and secondary alcohols in aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate micellar solutions were measured and the results were explained by considering the distribution of alcohols between aqueous and micellar phases. The distribution constant and the enthalpy of transfer (and the standard free energy and entropy of transfer) were obtained. The thermodynamic parameters for the transfer of secondary alcohols from the aqueous to the sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS) micellar phase differ slightly from those of the corresponding primary alcohols. For both series of alcohols the additivity rule holds for free energies of transfer whereas enthalpies and entropies display convex curves. The present data are compared to those for the transfer of the same solutes from the aqueous to the dodecyldimethylamine oxide (DDAO) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) micellar phases. The role of the hydrophilic interactions between the OH group and the micelles' head groups is formulated. The thermodynamics of the branched methyl group were determined. Furthermore, the thermodynamics of solvation of primary alcohols in water, in NaDS micelles, and in octane have been calculated using reference states based on the assumption that the empty space around alcohols in the initial and final states is the same. It is shown that the solvation of alcohols in NaDS micellar phase is enthalpy driven and that the thermodynamic properties of solvation vs. the length of the alcohol tail is the same for water and NaDS micelles whereas it is different for octane. A possible explanation for this difference is that the alkyl chain of alcohols folds in octane.     

Enthalpy of solution of phenoxyalcohols solubilized in aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions

The enthalpy of solution of phenoxy 2-ethanol, 1 phenoxy,-3 propanol and benzylalcohol was determined at 25 °C in aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide solution, up to 0.2 mol/kg surfactant concentration. Using the pseudo-phase model, the standard enthalpy of transfer and the partition coefficient of the alcohols between micelle and water are calculated. The latter quantity is found to be systematically larger when derived from enthalpy than from free energy measurements. Using the so-called compensation plot, the solution thermodynamics of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols in aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate and in the octane+water systems are compared. Aromatic alcohols display an anomalous behavior in the octane+ water system but not in the micellar one.The standard enthalpy of solution of various alcohols presents, when plotted against hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide concentration, a shoulder in the region around 0.05 mol/kg; a discussion is presented on the evidence for alleged micellar structural changes in aqueous micellar systems.     

Interfacial Composition of Surfactant Aggregates in the Presence of Fragrance: A Chemical Trapping Study

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in daily-use chemical products providing a pleasant scent. The added fragrance molecules may induce microstructural transitions of surfactant aggregates, which further affect the physical and chemical properties of the products. Here, the effects of four types of aromatic alcohols (cinnamyl alcohol, phenyl ethanol, phenyl methanol and anisyl alcohol) on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/KBr aggregates were studied. The combined results from rheology, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy measurements showed that cinnamyl alcohol induced significant micellar growth, while increases in micellar growth were less obvious for the other aromatic alcohols. The changes in the interfacial molarities of water, aromatic alcohol, and bromide ions during such transitions were studied using the chemical trapping method. Transitions resulting from added cinnamyl alcohol were accompanied by significant declines in interfacial water and bromide ion molarities, and a rise in interfacial alcohol molarity. The marked decrease in interfacial water molarity was not observed in previous studies of the octanol induced formation of wormlike micelles and vesicles, indicating that a different mechanism was presented in the current system. Nuclear magnetic resonance investigation showed that π–π stacking between cinnamyl alcohols, but not cation–π interactions between alcohols and CTAB headgroups, facilitated the tight packing of alcohol molecules in CTAB aggregates and the repulsion of water from the interfacial region. The current study may provide a theoretical basis for the morphological regulation of surfactant aggregates in the presence of additives.     

OPTIMIZATION OF THE PHOTO-ENZYMATIC REDUCTION OF THE CARBON-CARBON DOUBLE BOND OF α-β UNSATURATED CARBOXYLATES IN REVERSED MICELLES

Abstract A system is described for the photo-induced biocatalytic reduction of enoates in reversed micelles composed of detergent, buffer and mixtures of alcohol and octane as cosurfactant and dispersant respectively. The photosystem consisted of the sacrificial electron donor tributylamine, Zn(II) meso -mono(4-N-decyipyridyl)-tri(phenyl)porphyrin as photosensitizer and methylviologen as electron acceptor. The enzyme enoate reductase (EC 1.3.1.31) utilizes the photo-reduced methylviologen for the stereospecific reduction of enoates. The composition of the reversed micellar medium has been optimized with respect to both the photochemical and the enzymatic part of the system. The yield of the photosystem increased with increasing polarity of the reversed micellar solution. The activity and stability of enoate reductase depended strongly on the nature and concentration of the cosurfactant in the reversed micelles. Increasing the chain length of the cosurfactant stabilizes the enzyme in the presence of enoates, but it leads to a more rapid loss of activity of the reduced form of the enzyme. Reversed micelles were composed in which both operational and storage stability of enoate reductase are at least equal to that in water. The photochemical regeneration of methylviologen coupled to the enzymatic reduction of tiglic acid and cinnamic acid yielded a system that was active for over 100 h in the presence of a cofactor regenerating system in reversed micelles. The enzyme was as stable as in aqueous solution. Therefore this photo-enzymatic system can be used for the stereospecific reduction of apolar α-β unsaturated carboxylates.     

Binding constants and partial molar volumes of primary alcohols in sodium dodecylsulfate micelles

The densities of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol and 1-hexanol were measured in aqueous solutions of sodium dodecylsulfate at 25°C. The partial molar volumes of the alcohols at infinite dilution in the aqueous surfactants solutions were calculated and discussed using a mass-action model for the alcohol distribution between the aqueous and the micellar phase. The partial molar volumes of the alcohols in the aqueous and in the micellar phases, and the ratios between the binding constant and the aggregation number, were calculated. The partial molar volume for all the alcohols in micellar phase is 10 cm³-mol^–1 smaller than that in octane. This can be related to the strong hydrophilic interaction between the head groups of the alcohol and the micellized surfactant. From the extrapolated values of the distribution constant and the partial molar volumes in the aqueous and micellar phases, the standard partial molar volume of heptanol in micellar solutions was found to decrease with increasing surfactant concentration. The standard free energy of transfer of alcohols from water to micelles was rationalized in terms of hydrophilic and hydrophobic contributions. A model is proposed in which the empty space around each solute is assumed to be the same in the gas and liquid phases, and is used to explain the behavior of micelles in the presence of amphiphilic solutes.

Phase Equilibria in Systems of Water,Naphthenic Acids,and Phenols

A partial phase diagram has been determined for the system based on 5‐phenylvalerate, 4‐pentyphenol, and water at 25 °C. The system showed a very rich phase behavior in which many different isotropic solutions and liquid crystals were found. Both normal and reverse self‐assembly structures of the micellar and hexagonal types were noted. In the middle of the phase diagram, a lamellar liquid crystalline phase with a large swelling capacity was observed. When the aromatic alcohol was replaced by a long‐chain alcohol the reverse hexagonal structure disappeared. The effect of temperature and salinity on the phase behavior was also studied. Raising the temperature increased the micellar regions, while the lamellar phase was slightly reduced and the reverse hexagonal phase disappeared. Addition of salt gave the lamellar phase a smaller region of existence and the large extension towards the water apex disappeared. Introduction of an acid to the system resulted in a remarkable change of the phase behavior: both the normal micellar and lamellar regions were significantly reduced, while the reverse micellar region was significantly increased.     

PHASE TRANSITIONS IN COLLOIDAL SYSTEMS PART II CALOR1METRIC STUDY OF THE PHASE CHANGES IN BINARY OR TERNARY SYSTEM OF WATER,SOS AND PENTANOL

The phase transitions of micellar systems have been studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The binary systems waier+pentanol-1. water+SDS or SDS+pentanol-1 and the ternary system water+SDS+pentanol-1 have been investigated. In the monophasic region of the ternary system, two experimental paths have been chosen: the first one describes the influence of the addition of water and the second one describes the influence of the alcohol.

The analysis of both cooling or heating thermograms has given indications about the structure of these media. It has been particularly shown that the water can be in two states either in a classical macroscopic form melting at 0°C or enclosed in micelles with a so small dimension that melting of the ice occurs at a lower temperature (Ts). So, it has been possible to locate the range of concentration where these two “ices” appear. At the lowest temperature we observe the transformations of pentanol-1.

Generally the undercooling is smaller than for other aqueous solutions [1] suggesting an heterogeneous nudeation. The heating experiments suggest that the phase equilibria concern ice (or crystallized pentanol-1) and the solutions of monomers which rapidly are at the critical micelle concentration (CMC).

Micellization of Cetylpyridinium Chloride Using Conductometric Technique

Abstract

Conductometric technique has been used to investigate the equilibrium properties of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in the presence of a series of aliphatic alcohols. The dependence of conductivity of surfactant solution in the presence of particular amount of alcohol has been studied. According to the experimental results, ethanol cause to decrease the dielectric constant and conductivity of micellar solution. Alcohols with longer chain may change the conductivity of solution depend on concentration of surfactant. At low concentration of CPC near critical micelle concentration (cmc) region, the minimum value of conductivity can be observed. This minimum value can be controiled by decreasing of free monomer concentration and also increasing degree of dissociation of micelle because of penetration of alcohols in micellar core. Using Conductometric technique cmc and α (degree of dissociation of counterion) of CPC were evaluated. The micelle formation of CPC has been considered in ethylene glycol (E.G)/ water and glycerol/water mixtures. It has been shown, the logarithm of cmc is directly depended on the ratio of E.G/water or glycerol/water.     

Volumes,heat capacities and solubilities of amyl compounds in decyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous solutions

Apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of amylamine (PentNH₂) 0.02m, capronitrile (PentCN) 0.02m and nitropentane (PentNO₂) 0.009m in decyltrimethylammonium bromide (DeTAB) micellar solutions, in water and in octane were measured at 25°C. By assuming that their concentration approaches the standard infinite dilution state, heat capacities and volumes were rationalized by means of previously reported equations following which the distribution constant between the aqueous and the micellar phase and heat capacity and volume of the additives in both phases are simultaneously derived. The present results are compared to those we have previously obtained for pentanol (PentOH). The thermodynamic properties of PentNH₂ in water and in micellar phase are substantially identical to those of PentOH but different from those of PentCN and PentNO₂ whereas the opposite behavior was observed in their pure liquid state and in octane. The nature of the solvent medium seems to affect the thermodynamic behavior of PentNH₂. Also, the study of the apparent molar heat capacities of the amyl compounds investigated here in micellar solutions as a function of surfactant concentration shows evidence of a maximum at about 0.4m DeTAB, which can be attributed to a micellar structural transition. Accordingly, the solubilities of PentCN and PentNO₂ as a function of the DeTAB concentration drop in the neighborhood of the concentration where heat capacities display the maximum.     

Effects of head group size on the reaction methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate + Br− in water‐ethylene glycol cetyltrialkylammonium bromide micellar solutions

The reaction methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate + Br^? has been studied in water‐ethylene glycol cetyltrialkylammonium bromide (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl) micellar solutions by changing surfactant concentration as well as the weight percentage of ethylene glycol present in the bulk phase. The pseudophase model was adequate to rationalize quantitatively the micellar kinetic effects. Information about the influence of the head group size on the second‐order rate constant of the process and on the binding equilibrium constant of the organic substrate to the cationic micelles in water–ethylene glycol mixtures was obtained. Kinetic data taken from the literature were compared to those obtained in this work in order to examine the different effects produced by an alcohol that is localized in the bulk phase, such as ethylene glycol, with those caused by an alcohol that distributes between the bulk and micellar pseudophases, such as 1‐butanol. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Excess enthalpies of solution of primary and secondary alcohols in dodecyldimethylamine oxide micellar solutions

The excess enthalpies of solution with respect to water of some primary and secondary alcohols in dodecyldimethylamine oxide (DDAO) micellar solutions were measured by mixing aqueous solutions of alcohols with surfactant solutions. Standard free energies, enthalpies and entropies were obtained from the distribution of alcohols between aqueous and micellar phases. It is shown that thermodynamics of transfer of secondary alcohols from aqueous to the DDAO micellar phase differ slightly from those of their corresponding primary alcohols, that the additivity rule holds for free energies of transfer and that enthalpy and entropy display convex curves. The present data are compared with those from the aqueous to the dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) micellar phases and to the literature data for transfer from water to octane. The role of the hydrophilic interactions between OH group and the micellar head groups and of the hydrophobic interactions between the methylene group and its apolar environment is evidenced.

Effects of alcohols on micellization and on the reaction methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate + Br− in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous micellar solutions

The effects of n‐hexanol, n‐pentanol, and n‐butanol on the critical micelle concentration (cmc), on the micellar ionization degree (α), and on the rate of the reaction methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate + Br^? have been investigated in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) aqueous solutions. An increase in the alcohol concentration present in the solution produces a decrease in the cmc and an increase in the micellar ionization degree. Kinetic data show that the observed rate constant decreases as alcohol concentration increases. This result was rationalized by considering variations in the equilibrium binding constant of the methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate molecules to the micelles, variations in the interfacial bromide ion concentration, and variations in the characteristics of the water–alcohol bulk phase provoked by the presence of alcohols. When these operative factors are considered, kinetic data in this and other works show that the second‐order rate constants in the micellar pseudophases of water–alcohol micellar solutions are quite similar to those estimated in the absence of alcohols. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Volumes and compressibilities of pentanol in aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions at 15, 25 and 35°C

Ultrasonic velocities and densities of the water-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-pentanol (PentOH) ternary system were measured at 15, 25 and 35°C as a function of the surfactant and alcohol concentrations. The apparent molar volumes and isentropic compressibilities of PentOH were calculated. The standard partial molar volumes increase with surfactant concentration continuously whereas the standard partial molar isentropic compressibilities show sharp changes in slope at about 0.25 mol-kg^–1 DTAB, which can be ascribed to a micellar structural transition. The volume data for alcohol in micellar solutions were treated by a model reported for the distribution of polar additives between aqueous and micellar phases. In the application of the model to compressibility, the contributions due to the pressure effect on the shift of both the micellization equilibrium and the alcohol distribution constant cannot be neglected. This is in contrast to what is found in the case of heat capacity. The distribution constant and the partial molar volumes and compressibilities of PentOH in the micellar phase have been derived by linear regression. Also, the apparent molar volumes and isentropic compressibilities of DTAB in water-pentanol mixed solvents at fixed composition have been calculated. These properties as a function of the surfactant concentration show maxima depending on the temperature and the mixed solvent composition. The decrease beyond the maximum can be attributed to the extraction of PentOH from the aqueous into the micellar phase, where its concentration tends to zero with the progressive increase of the surfactant concentration. As a consequence, by increasing the surfactant concentration, the apparent molar properties of the surfactant in the mixed solvent shifts towards the value in water.     

直链醇对反胶束体系中木素过氧化物酶催化活性的影响

根据研究发现, 在有醇作助表面活性剂的CTAB反胶束中木素过氧化物酶(LiP)不能表现活力, 而在水介质中CTAB对LiP的催化活性影响又不是很大. 为了揭示其中醇的影响, 本工作就不同碳链长度的醇对LiP酶催化性能的影响进行了研究. 由于CTAB反胶束体系中醇浓度较高, 且碳原子数大于4的直链醇在水中的溶解度又很小, 为此采用了LiP可在其中显示催化活性的CTAB正胶束、AOT反胶束和Brij30反胶束作介质, 通过研究这些介质中不同链长的醇对LiP催化活力的影响, 来探讨CTAB反胶束中木素过氧化物酶(LiP)不能表现活力的原因. 结果表明, 不管表面活性剂聚集体的结构、电性质及反胶束大小如何, 只要醇的浓度超过500 mmol•L^－1 (丁醇≥1200 mmol•L^－1), LiP在上述原本可显示活力的介质中均无催化活性. 据此推测CTAB反胶束中木素过氧化物酶(LiP)不能表现活力的原因主要是由助表面活性剂醇造成的.     

THE EFFECT OF BENZYL ALCOHOL ON THE MICELLAR PROPERTIES OF CTAB IN KBr SOLUTION

ABSTRACT

The effect of benzyl alcohol on the micellar size and shape of CTAB in KBr solution has been investigated by means of viscosity, LLS (laser light scattering), and NMR measurements. The surfactant CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and KBr content are kept constant at 0.01 mol.L^?1 and O.l^?1 mol.. The data from the various techniques are quantitatively in agreement. The viscosity of 0.01 mol.L^?1 CTAB/ 0.01mol.L^?1 KBr micellar system has a marked maximum at benzyl alcohol content 0.6%(v/v), where the size of rod micelles are largest. The results from 'H-NMR spectra of CTAB molecules show that before the maximum viscosity, benzyl alcohol is located in the interfacial region of CTAB micelles in the presence of KBr salt. If more benzyl alcohol is added, it starts solubilizing in the palisades of the micelles.     

Reversed micellar solutions in the system sodium octanoate/decanol/water: Model calculations and dynamic light scattering measurements

Geometrical calculations of aggregate sizes in the reversed micellar solution phase of the system water/sodium octanoate/decanol at 20 °C have been tested by dynamic light scattering studies. The autocorrelation functions were interpreted in the simplest possible way (monodisperse aggregates, Stokes-Einstein diffusion equations) since the geometrical model does not account for detailed changes in shapes or micellar interactions. The model predicts the main features of micellization in these solutions, i. e., the micelles grow continuously as the concentration of water or the molar ratio water/octanoate increases, association begins at quite low concentrations of water and the surrounding decanolic solvent behaves as pure decanol which is saturated with water.
