Receptor 1, composed of two deoxycholic acid moieties appended to a Zn-salophen complex, was prepared, characterized and tested for anion binding by (1)H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopic techniques. While in polar DMSO, 1 is able to bind phosphate (K = ∼700 M(-1)), the addition of water severely diminishes the association. In a 1 : 9 water-DMSO mixture, the binding constant K is only ca. 20 M(-1). Notably, in an aqueous solution of CTABr micelles (CTABr 10 mM, cmc = ∼1 mM), the zinc-salophen conjugate 1, due to its two non-polar bile-acid moieties, becomes solubilized and, most importantly, it almost completely recovers its binding ability towards phosphate, displaying a remarkable affinity (K = ∼450 M(-1)) in water.

Sustainable Phenylalanine-Derived SAILs for Solubilization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.

The solubilization capacity of a series of sustainable phenylalanine-derived surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) was evaluated towards polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene. The key physico-chemical parameters of the studied systems (critical micelle concentration, spectral properties, solubilization parameters) were determined, analyzed and compared with conventional cationic surfactant, CTABr. For all studied PAH solubilization capacity increases with extension of alkyl chain length of PyPheOC SAILs reaching the values comparable to CTABr for SAILs with n = 10-12.

TiO/montmorillonite composites were synthesized using inverse micellar route for the preparation of titania nanoparticles (4-6 nm diameter) in 1-hexanol and for the dispersion of one of the clay components. Two series of composites were obtained: one derived from cetyltrimethylammonium organomontmorillonite (CTA-Mt), exfoliated in 1-hexanol, and the other from sodium form of montmorillonite (Na-Mt) dispersed by formation of an inverse microemulsion in 1-hexanol. The TiO content ranged from 16 to 64 wt.

Transport mechanisms of solvated protons of 1 M HCl acid pools, confined within reverse micelles (RMs) containing the negatively charged surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (NaAOT) or the positively charged cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr), are analyzed with reactive force field simulations to interpret dynamical signatures from TeraHertz absorption and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. We find that the forward proton hopping events for NaAOT are further suppressed compared to a nonionic RM, while the Grotthuss mechanism ceases altogether for CTABr. We attribute the sluggish proton dynamics for both charged RMs as due to headgroup and counterion charges that expel hydronium and chloride ions from the interface and into the bulk interior, thereby increasing the pH of the acid pools relative to the nonionic RM.

Micellar enhanced ultra-filtration (MEUF) is a modified ultrafiltration (UF) method that can remove small molecules that are not effectively removed by UF alone. In this work we used a similar semi-equilibrium dialysis (SED) method to characterize two anionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium laurate (SOL), as MEUF candidates to remove several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds. These anionic surfactants have low toxicity and are more biodegradable compared to the fairly toxic and persistent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) and similar cationic surfactants, which is important as MEUF surfactants may be present in the treated effluent.

The ion exchange constant, K (for the case of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTABr, in this study) is a method dependant characterization of ion exchange process by counterions, X and Br with different relative binding ratios. In this report, the ion exchange constant, K values for micelle systems irradiated under 2 min of sonication at 120 W power using a probe sonicator with 1 cm tip were determined to be 85.2, 125.
