Effect of alkyl chain length and head group on surface active and aggregation behavior of ionic liquids in water
چکیده انگلیسی

A series of surfactant-like ionic liquids (ILs), typically consisting of a long hydrocarbon tail and an ionic head group have been synthesized by a direct reaction of 1-methylimidazole and 1-choloroalkane, RCl, R = C10, C12, C14, C16 and C18, 1-methylpipridine or 1-methylpyrrolidine and 1-chlorooctadecane respectively. Surface activity and aggregation of these surfactants have been explored by surface tension and solution conductivity measurements. New results (critical aggregation concentrations (cac), and surface active parameters (at 298.15 K), thermodynamic parameters of aggregation (at 298.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K)) are reported. The increase in length of R decreased cac, minimum area/surfactant molecule at air/water interface and while the adsorption efficiency, surface excess concentrations, standard entropy of aggregation were increased indicating that the aggregation with in the temperature limits of present study is an entropy driven process. The analysis of the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) curves revealed that the aggregates are of oblate ellipsoidal shape and the aggregation numbers increased with the increase in the chain length (C10–C18) of alkyl branch and therefore it is suggested that the longer the alkyl chains, parallel would be their alignment in the core part of the aggregates. Comparison of surface active parameters for the three ILs with a common octadecyl chain but different cationic head groups revealed that the methylimidazolium moiety is more effective than methylpiperidine and methylpyrrolidine at air/water interface. Similarly, the number of molecules in an aggregate was found to be more, when the cationic head group is made up of π electron ring systems as compared to the one with point charge.

Amphiphilic ionic liquids based on long alkyl chain imidazolium or pyrrolidinium or piperidnium chlorides are highly surface active and form stable micelle-like aggregates in water. The surface active and aggregation characteristics are dependent on alkyl chain length and charge distribution on head group.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
