Temperature- and Composition-Induced Multiarchitectural Transitions in the Catanionic System of a Conventional Surfactant and a Surface-Active Ionic Liquid.

ABSTRACT: The mixture of the cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and anionic surface-active ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumdodecyl sulfate (bmimDS), has been studied as a function of the mole fraction of CTAB, X _CTAB, with the total surfactant concentration fixed at 50 mM using turbidity measurements, rheology, dynamic light scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, small-angle neutron scattering, and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques. The catanionic mixture has been found to exhibit phase transitions from vesicles to micelles as a function of temperature, with some mole fractions of CTAB showing dual transitions. Solutions of X _CTAB = 0.2 to 0.5 exhibited a single transition from vesicles to cylindrical micelles at 45 °C. With an increase in the mole fraction of CTAB from 0.55 to 0.65, dual structural transitions at 30 and 45 °C were observed. The microstructural transition at 30 °C is ascribed to the vesicle aggregation process with smaller vesicles fusing into bigger ones, whereas the transition at 45 °C was evaluated to be the vesicle-to-cylindrical micelle transition. However, at higher mole fractions of CTAB, X _CTAB from 0.65 to 0.90, a single transition from vesicles to small cylindrical/spherical micelles was observed in the solutions, at a lower temperature of 30 °C. To the best of our knowledge, such a microstructural transitions as a function of temperature in a single mixture of cationic and anionic surfactants without any additive has not been reported so far.

Ionic Liquid-Based Catanionic Coacervates: Novel Microreactors for Membrane-Free Sequestration of Dyes and Curcumin.

Project description:Surfactant-mediated coacervates are termed as the new age microreactors for their ability to spontaneously sequester the molecules with varied polarities and functionalities. Efforts to emulate this applicability of coacervates through synthetic control of surfactant structures are finding success; however, there is little understanding of how to translate these changes into tailor-made properties. Herein, we designed 3-methyl-1-(octyloxycarbonylmethyl)imidazolium bromide (C8EMeImBr), an ester-functionalized ionic liquid-based surfactant, which shows better surface active properties than the nonfunctionalized and conventional cationic surfactant and forms complex coacervates over the broad range of concentration with sodium salicylate (NaSal). Mono- and divalent cations as well as ionic strength, viscosity, and time-dependent stability of the coacervates had also been addressed in order to study whether these coacervates could work as microreactors to encapsulate various molecules. The anionic charged complex coacervates with sponge morphology and honey comb-like interior show good efficiency to sequester cationic dyes from water because of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and good encapsulation efficiency for curcumin owing to their high surface area. Results suggest that ionic liquid-based coacervates studied here could be exploited as a novel low-cost, effective, and environmentally benign alternative to sequester dyes from the contaminated water and their recovery.

Surface-active ionic liquids for palladium-catalysed cross coupling in water: effect of ionic liquid concentration on the catalytically active species.

Project description:We report the design and synthesis of surface-active ionic liquids for application in palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions. A series of dodecylimidazolium-based ionic liquids were applied as additives in the Heck reaction of ethyl acrylate and iodobenzene, and high yields of >90% could be obtained in water without the addition of further ligands. Our results indicate that the ionic liquid concentration in water is the key factor affecting the formation of the catalytically active species and hence the yield. Moreover, imidazolium-based ionic liquids that are able to form a carbene species differ significantly from conventional cationic surfactants, as a concentration dependent formation of the N-heterocyclic carbene complex was observed.

Surface-Active Ionic Liquid Cholinium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate: Self-Assembling Behavior and Interaction with Cellulase.

Project description:The conventional sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (NaDBS) has been converted into an efficient and nontoxic anionic surface-active ionic liquid, cholinium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (Cho[DBS]). We have investigated its self-assembling behavior, interaction with the enzyme cellulase, and ecotoxicity. The surface-active properties at the air-liquid interface and the aggregation behavior of Cho[DBS] in water have been determined using tensiometry, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), conductometry, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The enzyme activity was observed using dinitro salicylic acid analysis. The enhanced enzyme activity was explained through active-site exfoliation and structural constancy of cellulase in the micellar medium using the results from fluorescence, circular dichroism, DLS, and ITC. The nontoxic nature was confirmed by toxicity analysis on the freshwater microalgae Scenedesmus sp.

Conductive Hybrid Crystal Composed from Polyoxomolybdate and Deprotonatable Ionic-Liquid Surfactant.

Project description:A polyoxomolybdate inorganic-organic hybrid crystal was synthesized with deprotonatable ionic-liquid surfactant. 1-dodecylimidazolium cation was employed for its synthesis. The hybrid crystal contained δ-type octamolybdate (Mo₈) isomer, and possessed alternate stacking of Mo₈ monolayers and interdigitated surfactant bilayers. The crystal structure was compared with polyoxomolybdate hybrid crystals comprising 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium surfactant, which preferred β-type Mo₈ isomer. The less bulky hydrophilic moiety of the 1-dodecylimidazolium interacted with the δ-Mo₈ anion by N-H···O hydrogen bonds, which presumably induced the formation of the δ-Mo₈ anion. Anhydrous conductivity of the hybrid crystal was estimated to be 5.5 × 10(-6) S·cm(-1) at 443 K by alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy.

Ionic Liquid Ordering at an Oxide Surface.

Project description:The interaction of the ionic liquid [C4 C1 Im][BF4 ] with anatase TiO2 , a model photoanode material, has been studied using a combination of synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The system is of interest as a model for fundamental electrolyte-electrode and dye-sensitized solar cells. The initial interaction involves degradation of the [BF4 ]- anion, resulting in incorporation of F into O?vacancies in the anatase surface. At low coverages, [C4 C1 Im][BF4 ] is found to order at the anatase(101) surface via electrostatic attraction, with the imidazolium ring oriented 32±4° from the anatase TiO2 surface. As the coverage of ionic liquid increases, the influence of the oxide surface on the topmost layers is reduced and the ordering is lost.

Low temperature ionic conductor: ionic liquid incorporated within a metal-organic framework.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) show promise as safe electrolytes for electrochemical devices. However, the conductivity of ILs decreases markedly at low temperatures because of strong interactions arising between the component ions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are appropriate microporous host materials that can control the dynamics of ILs via the nanosizing of ILs and tunable interactions of MOFs with the guest ILs. Here, for the first time, we report on the ionic conductivity of an IL incorporated within a MOF. The system studied consisted of EMI-TFSA (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide) and ZIF-8 (Zn(MeIM)2, H(MeIM) = 2-methylimidazole) as the IL and the MOF, respectively. While the ionic conductivity of bulk EMI-TFSA showed a sharp decrease arising from freezing, the EMI-TFSA@ZIF-8 showed no marked decrease because there was no phase transition. The ionic conductivity of EMI-TFSA@ZIF-8 was higher than that of bulk EMI-TFSA below 250 K. This result points towards a novel method by which to design electrolytes for electrochemical devices such as batteries that can operate at low temperatures.

Cloud point extraction of parabens using non-ionic surfactant with cylodextrin functionalized ionic liquid as a modifier.

Project description:A cloud point extraction (CPE) process using non-ionic surfactant (DC193C) to extract selected paraben compounds from water samples was investigated using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The CPE process with the presence of ?-cyclodextrin (?CD) functionalized ionic liquid as a modifier (CPE-DC193C-?CD-IL) is a new extraction technique that has been applied on the optimization of parameters, i.e., pH, ?CD-IL concentration and phase volume ratio. This CPE-DC193C-?CD-IL method is facilitated at 30 °C, showing great losses of water content in the surfactant-rich phase, resulting in a high pre-concentration factor and high distribution coefficient. The developed method CPE-DC193C-?CD-IL did show enhanced properties compared to the CPE method without the modifier (CPE-DC193C). The developed method of CPE-DC193C-?CD-IL gives an excellent performance on the detection of parabens from water samples with the limit of detection falling in the range of 0.013-0.038 µg mL-1. Finally, the inclusion complex formation, hydrogen bonding, and ?-? interaction between the ?CD-IL, benzyl paraben (ArP), and DC 193C were proven using 1H NMR and 2D NOESY spectroscopy.

High-Temperature Quantum Tunneling and Hydrogen Bonding Rearrangements Characterize the Solid-Solid Phase Transitions in a Phosphonium-Based Protic Ionic Liquid.

Project description:We report the complex phase behavior of the glass forming protic ionic liquid (PIL) d3-octylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [C8 H17 PD3 ][NTf2 ] by means of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Combined line shape and spin relaxation studies of the deuterons in the PD3 group of the octylphosphonium cation allow to map and correlate the phase behavior for a broad temperature range from 71 K to 343 K. In the solid PIL at 71 K, we observed a static state, characterized by the first deuteron quadrupole coupling constant reported for PD3 deuterons. A transition enthalpy of about 12 kJ mol-1 from the static to the mobile state with increasing temperature suggests the breaking of a weak, charge-enhanced hydrogen bond between cation and anion. The highly mobile phase above 100 K exhibits an almost disappearing activation barrier, strongly indicating quantum tunneling. Thus, we provide first evidence of tunneling driven mobility of the hydrogen bonded P-D moieties in the glassy state of PILs, already at surprisingly high temperatures up to 200 K. Above 250 K, the mobile phase turns from anisotropic to isotropic motion, and indicates strong internal rotation of the PD3 group. The analyzed line shapes and spin relaxation times allow us to link the structural and dynamical behavior at molecular level with the phase behavior beyond the DSC traces.

Realignment of Liquid Crystal Shells Driven by Temperature-Dependent Surfactant Solubility.

Project description:We investigate dynamic director field variations in shells of the nematic liquid crystal (LC) compound, 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl, suspended in and containing immiscible aqueous phases. The outer and inner shell interfaces are stabilized by the cationic surfactant, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and by the water soluble polymer, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), respectively. PVA and surfactant solutions normally promote tangential and orthogonal alignments, respectively, of the LC director. The rather high Krafft temperature of CTAB, TK ? 25 °C, means that its solubility in water is below the critical micelle concentration at room temperature in most labs. Here, we study the effect of cooling/heating past TK on the LC shell director configuration. Within a certain concentration range, CTAB in the outer aqueous phase (and PVA in the inner) switches the LC director field from hybrid to uniformly orthogonal upon cooling below TK. We argue that the effect is related to the migration of the surfactant through the fluid LC membrane into the initially surfactant-free aqueous PVA solution, triggered by the drastically reduced water solubility of CTAB at T < TK. The results suggest that LC shells can detect solutes in the continuous phase, provided there is sufficient probability that the solute migrates through the LC into the inner aqueous phase.

Extraction of Membrane Components from Neisseria gonorrhoeae Using Catanionic Surfactant Vesicles: A New Approach for the Study of Bacterial Surface Molecules.

Project description:Identification of antigens is important for vaccine production. We tested extraction protocols using cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate (CTAT) and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) to formulate surfactant vesicles (SVs) containing components from Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Carbohydrate and protein assays demonstrated that protein and carbohydrates were incorporated into the vesicle leaflet. Depending on the extraction protocol utilized, 100-400 µg of protein/mL of SVs solution was obtained. Gel electrophoresis followed by silver staining demonstrated that SV extracts contained lipooligosaccharide and a subset of bacterial proteins and lipoproteins. Western blotting and mass spectral analysis indicated that the majority of the proteins were derived from the outer membrane. Mass spectrometric and bioinformatics analysis of SVs identified 29 membrane proteins, including porin and opacity-associated protein. Proteins embedded in the SVs leaflet could be degraded by the addition of trypsin or proteinase K. Our data showed that the incorporation of CTAT and SDBS into vesicles eliminated their toxicity as measured by a THP-1 killing assay. Incorporation of gonococcal cell surface components into SVs reduced toxicity as compared to the whole cell extracts, as measured by cytokine induction, while retaining the immunogenicity. This process constitutes a general method for extracting bacterial surface components and identification of antigens that might be included in vaccines.
