Excess free energy, enthalpy and entropy of surfactant-surfactant mixed micelle formation
1996
Enthalpies of dilution and osmotic coefficients of sodium decylsulfate (NaDeS)-dodecyldimethylamine oxide (DDAO) mixtures in water were determined at 298 and 310 K, respectively. From the enthalpies of dilution, the apparent and then the partial molar relative enthalpies of the surfactant mixtures were calculated. From the osmotic coefficients, calculated at 298 K, the non-ideal free energies were derived. The latter were combined with the partial molar relative enthalpies to obtain the non-ideal entropies. From the apparent molar properties, using a previously reported approach, the excess thermodynamic properties for the surfactant-surfactant mixed micelle formation in water were evaluate…
Physico-chemical investigation of nanostructures in liquid phases: Nickel chloride ionic clusters confined in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate…
2009
The confinement of finite amounts of nickel chloride in the hydrophilic core of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) reverse micelles dispersed in n-heptane has been investigated by FT-IR, UV-vis-NIR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The analysis of experimental data consistently leads to hypothesize that NiCl(2) forms small size ionic clusters stabilized by a monolayer of oriented surfactant molecules. Due to confinement and interfacial effects, these ionic clusters show peculiar photophysical properties, which are different from those possessed by the bulk material. From NiCl(2)/AOT/n-heptane solutions, by evaporation of the organic solvent, interesting salt/surfactant nanocomposi…
Synthesis and crystal structure of Na1+xV4P4O17(OH) (x ≈ 1.44)
1990
Abstract Hydrothermal synthesis starting from Na0.46VOPO4 · 1.58H2O leads to a new mixed-valence sodium vanadium phosphate: Na2.44V4P4O17(OH) (orthorhombic, space group Pnma; Z = 4; a = 13.723(5) A, b = 6.314(2) A, c = 16.139(4) A; R = 0.032 for 2659 reflections). In this phase, the interconnection of three complex types of infinite chains, built from VO6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra, sometimes edgeshared, defines tunnels partly occupied by a portion of the sodium atoms.
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes
1991
Abstract Chromatographic data for sodium polystyrene sulphonate were obtained on both silica- and polymer-based size-exclusion supports using mobile phases of various pH and ionic strength. Deviations of the elution volume were observed towards both lower and higher values relative to the reference calibration graph obtained with uncharged standards. An empirical correlation is proposed in order to account for all the secondary effects observed. The general applicability of this correlation was further tested for chromatographic data obtained for a series of peptides and proteins on a silica-based support under very different eluent conditions. Deviations from ideal elution behaviour such a…
Sensory and Chemical Analysis of Fractions Obtained by Gel Permeation of Water-Soluble Comte Cheese Extracts
1995
The pure water extraction of Comte cheese solubles and their chromatographic separation facilitate sensory analysis experiments with the fractions directly collected from the column. Two extracts, one obtained after ultrafiltration, the other after chromatography on Sephadex G25, have been separated on Toyopearl HW-40S. The sensory evaluation of the obtained fractions shows in the two cases that some fractions have interesting flavors. However, physicochemical analysis shows that organoleptic characteristics are linked more to the presence of amino acids and salts than to the presence of peptides. Apart from monosodium glutamate, most of the amino acids are present in the fractions at conce…
Thermodynamic Properties of Sodium n-Alkanecarboxylates in Water and in Water + Cyclodextrins Mixtures
1998
Densities and heat capacities of water−substrate, water−cyclodextrin, and water−substrate−cyclodextrin systems were determined at 298 K. The substrates studied are sodium n-alkanecarboxylates (CnCOONa) (from sodium acetate to sodium decanoate) and the cyclodextrins are hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, (HP-β-CD), hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of CnCOONa in water were calculated as functions of concentration. The standard partial molar properties agree with those obtained by using the additivity rule. HP-β-CD essentially does not affect the thermodynamic properties of C1COON…
The second component of human complement: Detection of two hemolytic forms in plasma by pH Variation
1988
The second component of human complement (C2) in pseudoglobulin prepared from normal plasma eluted as a single peak at high conductivity (30 mS) and pH 4.5 from the cationic exchangers S-Sepharose or Mono S in the Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) System. The C2 was stable at pH 4.5 and 0 degrees C if enzyme inhibitors were used and the pH was raised to 6.0 after elution from the columns. After rechromatography on Mono S in the FPLC System at the median isoelectric point of 5.5 or pH 6.0, the C2 eluted as two distinct hemolytic forms: the first peaked at 16 mS, the second at 30 mS. The two forms of C2 did not correlate with the allotypic variant of C2 in individual, normal human pla…
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Water + Acetic Acid + Sodium Acetate
2003
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for the binary water + sodium acetate and acetic acid + sodium acetate systems and ternary mixtures of water, acetic acid, and sodium acetate have been measured at 100 kPa with a recirculating still. The addition of sodium acetate to water + acetic acid mixtures produced an appreciable rise in equilibrium temperature but a small effect on the relative volatility of water, which was augmented at higher water solvent concentrations and decreased at lower concentrations. These effects increased with higher salt concentrations. The experimental binary data sets have been correlated using a modified Mock's electrolyte NRTL model, which takes into account the asso…
Hierarchical structure formation of cylindrical brush polymer-surfactant complexes.
2009
The complex formation of cylindrical brush polymers with poly(l-lysine) side chains (PLL) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) can induce a helical conformation of the cylindrical brush polymer in aqueous solution (Gunari, N.; Cong, Y.; Zhang, B.; Fischer, K.; Janshoff, A.; Schmidt, M. Macromol. Rapid Commun. 2008, 29, 821-825). Herein, we have systematically investigated the influence of surfactant, salt, and pH on the supramolecular structure formation. The cylindrical brush polymers and their complexes with surfactants were directly visualized by atomic force microscopy in air and in aqueous solution. The alkyl chain length (measured by the carbon number, n) of the surfactant plays a key rol…
Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Cyclopentanes as Precursors of Hydroxylated Azidocarbonucleosides
2009
Regio- and stereoisomers of functionalized azido amino alcohols with a cyclopentane skeleton were synthesized in enantiomerically pure forms. Enzymatic ring cleavage of racemic 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one gave the corresponding amino acid and one enantiomer of the lactam stereospecifically. These were protected by esterification and carbamoylation, and then epoxidized. The resulting oxiranes underwent cleavage by sodium azide with complementary stereoselectivities. The regioisomeric products were easily separated by crystallization or column chromatography.
