Synthesis of pentafluorophenyl(meth)acrylate polymers: New precursor polymers for the synthesis of multifunctional materials
2005
Pentafluorophenyl acrylate and -methacrylate were polymerized using AIBN as a thermal initiator. The obtained polymers were soluble polymeric active esters that could be used for the preparation of multifunctional polymers. The reactivity of poly(pentafluorophenylacrylate) and poly(pentafluorophenylmethacrylate) towards primary and secondary amines, as well as alcohols was investigated in a quantitative way. Both poly(active esters) reacted satisfactorily with aliphatic primary and secondary amines but only low conversion was found in the case of aromatic amines. Conversions of only 30% were reached when poly(pentafluorophenylacrylate) was treated with one equivalent of alcohol under base c…
Acid—base properties of azo dyes in the presence of surfactants
1991
Abstract The changes in the acid—base properties of an azo dye produced by the presence of surfactants, at surfactant concentrations below and above the CMC, are quantitatively described using a simple model and spectrophotometric and potentiometric measurements. The azo dye formed by aniline and N -(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine, and the surfactants sodium dodecyl sulphate, Triton X-100 and N -cetylpyridinium chloride (NCPC) are used. The protonation constants of the free and surfactant-bound dye species, the binding constant of the protonated and unprotonated forms of the dye, and the average aggregation number of the dye—NCPC aggregates are evaluated.
Chromatographic peak profile of ionogenic analytes upon elution with unbuffered eluents
1998
Experimental proof of the model was carried out for the separation of benzoic acid on a LiChrospher RP-18 column. The observed chromatographic peak profile coincides with the peak profile predicted by the model. The retention times of the dissociated and non-dissociated species determined by using an appropriate fitting procedure were 2.2 and 4.3 min, respectively. Based on these values, a theoretical peak profile was calculated, demonstrating a close agreement with the experimentally observed peak profile. An unexpectedly large difference was found for the retention times of the dissociated and non-dissociated species calculated by a fitting procedure and those experimentally measured on t…
Hydrolysis of (CH3)Hg+ in Different Ionic Media: Salt Effects and Complex Formation
1998
The hydrolysis of monomethylmercury(II) was studied potentiometrically, in NaNO3, Na2SO4, and NaCl aqueous solution, in a wide range of ionic strengths (NaNO3, 0 ≤ I ≤ 3.25; Na2SO4, 0 ≤ I ≤ 1; NaCl, 0 ≤ I ≤ 3 mol dm-3) and at t = 25 °C. For the reaction (CH3)Hg+ = (CH3)Hg(OH)° + H+, we found log K1 = −4.528 (I = 0 mol dm-3). The species [(CH3)Hg]2(OH)+ was also found, with log β2 = −2.15. Monomethylmercury(II) forms quite strong complexes with Cl- (log K = 5.45, I = 0 mol dm-3) and SO42- (log K = 2.64, I = 0 mol dm-3). The dependence on ionic strength of formation constants was considered by using a Debye−Huckel type equation. Hydrolysis and complex formation constants (at different ionic s…
Calorimetric study on the solubilization of some primary alcohols by reversed AOT micelles
1989
A calorimetric method to evaluate, at the same time, the distribution constant and the standard enthalpy of transfer of a solute partitioned between organic phase and reversed micelles is proposed. The method was applied to the partition of methanol, 1-propanol and 1-pentanol between n-heptane and AOT reversed micelles containing water at 25°C. The results show that the distribution constant decreases as the alcohol alkyl chain length increases and that the solubilization site can change as the water content of reversed AOT micelles increases. In particular, at sufficiently high water content, methanol seems to be preferably solubilized in the aqueous pseudophase whereas 1-pentanol prefers …
Thermodynamic Evidence of Cyclodextrin−Micelle Interactions
2002
The enthalpy of transfer (ΔHt) of hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) from water to the aqueous C6F13CO2Na and C7F15CO2Na solutions were determined in the pre- and post-micellar regions. The behavior of the macrocycles is system specific. Generally, the magnitude of the enthalpy is influenced by several factors: (1) the alkyl chain length of the surfactant, (2) the cyclodextrin cavity and its alkylation, (3) the interactions between the free cyclodextrin and the free surfactant, (4) the host−guest equilibrium constant, (5) the host/guest stoichiometry, and (6) the micelle-cyclodextrin (free and/or complexed) interactions…
Enthalpies of Mixing of Some Primary Hydrogenated and Fluorinated Alcohols and Sodium Dodecanoate Aqueous Solutions
1993
Abstract The enthalpies of transfer from water to the surfactant solutions ΔH(W → W + S) of some hydrogenated and fiuorinated alkanols and of sodium dodecanoate NaL were determined. In the premicellar region the measurements were carried out as functions of both the additive and the surfactant concentrations in order to evaluate the interaction parameters between the additive and the surfactant molecules. It is shown that in this region, pair, triplet, and quadruplet interaction parameters between unlike solute molecules contribute to ΔH(W → W + S). Within the large uncertainty with which these parameters are determined because of the very narrow surfactant and alcohol concentration interva…
Heat capacities, volumes and solubilities of pentanol in aqueous alkyltrimethylammonium bromides
1988
Apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of pentanol, 0.05m in decyl-, tetradecyl- and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromides micellar solutions, were measured at 25°C. They were assumed to approach the standard infinite dilution values and rationalized by means of previously reported equations following which the distribution constant between the aqueous and the micellar phase, heat capacity, and volume of pentanol in both phases are simultaneously derived. The present results show that the volume of the micellar core does not seem to have a significant effect on the apparent molar volume and heat capacity of pentanol in the micellar phase and on the free energy of transfer of pentanol from…
Adsorption of triblock copolymers and their homopolymers at laponite clay/solution interface. Role played by the copolymer nature
2009
The adsorption thermodynamics of copolymers, based on ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide ( PO) units, at the laponite (RD) clay/liquid interface was determined at 298 K. The copolymer nature was tuned at molecular level by changing the hydrophilicity, the architecture and the molecular weight (Mw) keeping constant the EO/PO ratio. Polyethylene (PEGs) and polypropylene (PPGs) glycols with varying Mw and their mixture were also investigated to discriminate the role of the EO and the PO segments in the adsorption process. Enthalpies of transfer of RD, at fixed concentration, from water to the aqueous macromolecule solutions as functions of the macromolecule molality were determined. They …
Stability−Charge and Stability−Structure Relationships in the Binding of Dicarboxylic Ligands by Open-Chain Polyammonium Cations
2000
The stability of complexes formed by 5 dicarboxylic ligands with 11 open-chain polyammonium cations (40 systems) was studied potentiometrically, in aqueous solution, at 25 °C. In all the systems ALHr species (A = amine, L = dicarboxylic ligand, r = 1 ... n; diamines n = 3, triamines n = 4, tetraamines n = 4 or 5) were found. Formation constants for the various complexes studied in this work, together with data for the analogous systems previously studied (20 systems), were examined as a function of charges involved in the formation reaction and of the structure of both the dicarboxylic ligand and the polyammonium cation. Structure generally has little effect on stability, while charges play…
