Properties of Fluids Composed of Polyelectrolyte and Double-Chain Anionic Surfactant: Branched Polyethyleneimine and Sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) Sulfosuccinate

The properties of fluids composed of branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) were investigated by steady-state fluorescence, dynamic light scattering, turbidity, conductivity, and pH measurements. Light scattering studies show that addition of PEI into AOT solution can significantly decrease the aggregate size of AOT, however, the aggregate volume of AOT/PEI complexes slightly changes with the [AOT] or [PEI]. ¹H NMR spectroscopy measurements show the line shape and chemical shifts of the protons around the head of AOT severely change with increase of [PEI] or [AOT]. It indicates that the interaction of AOT and PEI mainly occurs around the head of AOT.     

Comparative Study on the Structure of Water in Reverse Micelles Stabilized with Sodium Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Sulfosuccinate or Sodium Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Phosphate in n-Heptane

The microstructure of water solubilized in H(2)O/surfactant/n-heptane ternary systems has been investigated by employing (1)H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. Two reverse micellar systems were prepared and studied, i.e., sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate in n-heptane (H(2)O/AOT/n-heptane) and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate in n-heptane (H(2)O/NaDEHP/n-heptane). (1)H-NMR data showed that the chemical shift of water protons for the AOT and NaDEHP reverse micelles varied downfield and upfield, respectively, with an increase of the water content. The opposite shift directions with increasing water content are interpreted as due to a composition change of the solubilized water associated with head-groups and sodium counterions in reverse micellar systems. On the basis of deconvolution results of FT-IR spectra, a four-component model is proposed to interpret the FT-IR and (1)H-NMR results. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Columnar Aggregates of Azobenzene Stars: Exploring Intermolecular Interactions,Structure, and Stability in Atomistic Simulations

We present a simulation study of supramolecular aggregates formed by three-arm azobenzene (Azo) stars with a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) core in water. Previous experimental works by other research groups demonstrate that such Azo stars assemble into needle-like structures with light-responsive properties. Disregarding the response to light, we intend to characterize the equilibrium state of this system on the molecular scale. In particular, we aim to develop a thorough understanding of the binding mechanism between the molecules and analyze the structural properties of columnar stacks of Azo stars. Our study employs fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to model pre-assembled aggregates with various sizes and arrangements in water. In our detailed approach, we decompose the binding energies of the aggregates into the contributions due to the different types of non-covalent interactions and the contributions of the functional groups in the Azo stars. Initially, we investigate the origin and strength of the non-covalent interactions within a stacked dimer. Based on these findings, three arrangements of longer columnar stacks are prepared and equilibrated. We confirm that the binding energies of the stacks are mainly composed of π–π interactions between the conjugated parts of the molecules and hydrogen bonds formed between the stacked BTA cores. Our study quantifies the strength of these interactions and shows that the π–π interactions, especially between the Azo moieties, dominate the binding energies. We clarify that hydrogen bonds, which are predominant in BTA stacks, have only secondary energetic contributions in stacks of Azo stars but remain necessary stabilizers. Both types of interactions, π–π stacking and H-bonds, are required to maintain the columnar arrangement of the aggregates.     

An experimental setup for isobaric heat capacities for viscous fluids at high pressure: Squalane,bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate

A high-pressure flow calorimeter has been used to determine highly accurate isobaric heat capacities for different viscous fluids, squalane (SQN), bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DEHS) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) from T = (293.15 to 353.15) K and up to 30 MPa. The experimental device was adapted for viscous liquids at high pressure and it can measure heat capacities with an estimated total uncertainty better than 1%. The isobaric heat capacity values were analysed together with their temperature and pressure dependences. In addition, a fitting equation of the experimental molar isobaric heat capacity for these viscous fluids as a function of temperature and pressure was proposed.     

Gel formation in extraction of terbium by bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate

Gel formation has been studied in the bulk of the organic phase and in the interphase of the Tb(OH)₃ (Tb(NO₃)₃)-bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate-decane-water systems. In the Tb(OH)₃-HDEHP-decane-water system, gel formation is observed over the bulk of the organic phase when $c_{HDEHP} /c_{Tb(OH)_3 } $ ≤ 1.8. A structured layer several tens of micrometers thick is formed when an aqueous Tb(NO₃)₃ solution is in contact with an HDEHP solution in decane. The share of the structured layer in the interphase increases from 0 to about 90% as the terbium concentration increases. The structured layer that appears during the extraction of terbium by HDEHP in decane consists of both amorphous portions and portions dominated by acicular crystals.     

Separation of niobium and tantalum by extraction chromatography with bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid

A novel method is developed for the reversed-phase extractive chromatographic separation of niobium and tantalum with bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid. Niobium is extracted from 1-10M hydrochloric acid and can be stripped with 3M sulphuric acid containing 2% hydrogen peroxide. Tantalum is extracted from 0.1-2M hydrochloric acid and can be stripped with 0.1M hydrochloric acid containing 2M tartaric acid. It is possible to separate niobium and tantalum, in different ratios, from multicomponent mixtures.     

Extraction equilibria of some transition metal ions by bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphinic acid

Measurements of dimerization constants (K(d,HR)) and distribution constants (K(D,HR)) of bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphinic acid (PIA-8) in three kinds of organic diluents were carried out by a potentiometric two-phase titration technique at 298 +/- 0.1 K. Extraction of iron(III), zinc(II), copper(II), manganese(II), cadmium(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) by PIA-8 from 1.0 mol dm(-3) ammonium sulfate solution into heptane was investigated as a function of pH and extractant concentration. The data have been analyzed both graphically and numerically to determine the stoichiometry of extracted species and their extraction constants. The extracted metal species were found to be FeR(3) . 2HR for iron(III), ZnR(2) and ZnR(2) . 3HR for zinc(II), CuR(2) . HR and CuR(2) . 5HR for copper(II), MnR(2) . 2HR and MnR(2) . 3HR for manganese(II), CdR(2) . 3HR for cadmium(II), CoR(2) . HR and CoR(2) . 4HR for cobalt(II) and NiR(2) . 3HR and NiR(2) . 6HR for nickel(II), respectively.     

Structure and composition of the polymeric products of UO2SO4 extraction by benzene solutions of uranyl bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate

UO₂SO₄ extracts obtained from neutral aqueous solutions of this compound and benzene solutions of uranyl bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate have been studied by³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy. It has been found that in the presence of donor-active additions L=TBP or DOSO the recurrent unit of the polymer (UO₂X₂)_p adds one or two UO₂SO₄ molecules to form {UO₂X₂·UO₂SO₄·2L} and {UO₂X₂·2UO₂SO₄·6L} units. The structure of these units has been established. It has been shown that the distribution of UO₂SO₄ molecules along the polymer chain is random.

Solvent extraction of rare-earth metals with bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphinic acid

 The extraction behavior of tervalent rare-earth metals (Ln) using a heptane solution containing bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphinic acid (PIA-8, HR) from 0.1 mol/dm³ sodium perchlorate media was studied. The pH_0.5 values and separation factors obtained were compared among the metals. The stoichiometry of the extracted species and the extraction constants for the present aqueous/heptane system were determined by slope analysis. It is demonstrated that the rare-earth metals were extracted as monomers LnR₃⋅mHR (m=3, 4, 5 or 6), and the extracted species could be stripped into a relatively low concentrated hydrochloric acid. PIA-8 was found to be the most selective extractant for the mutual separation of rare-earth metals among the other phosphinic acids reported.

Integral physicochemical properties of reverse micelles of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)

The effect the degree of hydration has on optical and electrophysical properties of water/AOT/n-hexane system is studied. It is found that AOT reverse micelles form aggregates whose dimensions grow along with the degree of hydration and temperature. Aggregation enhances their electrical conductivity and shifts the UV spectrum of AOT reverse emulsions to the red region. Four states of water are found in the structure of AOT reverse micelles.
