Spontaneously formed nonequilibrium vesicles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium octyl sulfate in aqueous dispersions

It is well-known that vesicles form in mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants. We have investigated mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium octyl sulfate (SOS) with the latter in excess over a long time, about 500 days. We have followed the growth of the aggregates by light scattering and checked the morphologies by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM). All samples showed a monotonic growth with decreasing rate (the change of size was about linear on a logarithmic time scale). In series of samples with weight ratio 30:70 of CTAB/SOS and total surfactant concentration between 0.5 and 3 wt %, the size increased with the surfactant concentration up to 2 wt % and decreased thereafter; cryoTEM examination revealed that the samples contained a majority of open bilayer structures at the highest concentrations. Part of the sample at 2 wt % was diluted to 0.5 wt % after 60 days. The size measured after dilution was slightly smaller than before but well above that found in the directly prepared 0.5 wt % sample, and the particle size in the three samples continued to grow in parallel. Structures other than unilamellar vesicles were observed also in samples at 2 wt % total surfactant concentration at CTAB/SOS ratios close to the borders of the vesicle lobe in the (quasi) ternary phase diagram as published (Yatcilla, M. T.; Herrington, K. L.; Brasher, L. L.; Kaler, E. W.; Chiruvolu, S.; Zasadzinski, J. A. J. Phys. Chem. 1996, 100, 5874). The results clearly show that the spontaneous vesicle populations do not represent equilibrium populations. They also suggest that the vesicle lobes in the phase diagram mainly represent areas where a lamellar phase is easily dispersed in the form of vesicles in an aqueous solution.     

Silicon-induced diastereoselectivity of the catalyzed phosphorylation of 1-(perfluoroalkyl)-ω (trialkylsilyl)alkan-1-ols

The stereochemistry of catalytic phosphorylation of 1-(perfluoroalkyl)--(trialkylsilyl)alkan-1-ols with pentavalent phosphorus acid monochlorides (phosphonochloridates, methyl(phenyl)phosphinic chloride, and phosphorochloridates) was studied. The effects of the structures of alcohols and phosphorylating agents on the degree of the reaction diastereoselectivity were investigated. Methylphosphonochloridates were found to react most stereoselectively; the diastereoselectivity of the phosphorylation is independent of the donor or acceptor character of substituents at the phosphorus atom, being determined by their volumes. In the series of silylalkanols, the diastereoselectivity of the reaction the higher the closer the Si atom to the reactive site of the molecule, the larger the volume of the perfluoroalkyl substituent, and the more pronounced the electron-withdrawing properties of the substituents at the Si atom. A reaction mechanism is proposed that rationalizes the stereoselectivity of the reaction.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1930–1936, September, 2004.
