Abstract: | Quantitative parameters characterizing the aggregation behavior of dicationic surfactants of the 12-s-12 type in aqueous solutions were determined: critical micelle concentrations, aggregation numbers, and surface potentials. The effects of the spacer length of the surfactants on their solubilizing effect with respect to hydrophobic (dye Orange OT) and water-soluble (p-nitrophenol) spectral probes and on their ability to shift acid-base equilibria were studied. The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl caprinate in 12-s-12 solutions was studied by spectrophotometry. A correlation between the micellar catalytic effect and the surface potential of micelles was established. The pronounced substrate specificity was revealed: the maximum acceleration of hydrolysis is observed in solutions of 12-6-12, attaining 1760 times for p-nitrophenyl caprinate. |
