Kinetics and Mechanism of Cationic Micelle/flexible Nanoparticle Catalysis a Review
Surfactants are self-assembled compounds that depend on their structure and electric charge can interact as monomer or micelle with other compounds (substrates). These interactions which may catalyze or inhibit the reaction rates are studied with pseudophase, cooperativity, and stoichiometric (classical) models. In this review, we hash out applying these models to study surfactant-substrate interactions and their furnishings on Diels-Alder, redox, photochemical, decomposition, enzymatic, isomerization, ligand substitution, radical, and nucleophilic reactions.
1. Introduction
Self-organized assemblies such as micelles tin change the rates of chemical and enzymatic reactions. Effects of micelles of surfactants on these reactions tin can be attributed to their electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with reactants. Surfactants are amphiphilic organic compounds, containing both hydrophobic groups (their tails) and hydrophilic groups (their heads). Thus, a surfactant molecule contains both a water insoluble component and a h2o soluble component. The tail of nigh surfactants consists of a hydrocarbon chain. Surfactants are classified into four types. Anionic surfactants, such every bit sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), contain anionic functional groups at their head, that is, sulfate, sulfonate and phosphate. Cationic surfactants, for example, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), accept cationic functional groups such as quaternary ammonium cation. Zwitterionic surfactants have 1 cationic heart and one anionic middle both fastened to the same molecule. The cationic role is based on primary, secondary, or third amines or quaternary ammonium cations and the anionic office can be, for example, sulfonate and carboxylate [1]. Nonionic surfactants (such as Triton 10-100) do not ionize in an aqueous solution because their hydrophilic groups are nondissociable. Gemini surfactants (such as gemini 16-two-sixteen) are a relatively new class of amphiphilic molecules containing two head groups and two aliphatic chains, linked past a rigid or flexible spacer [2]. They bear witness greatly enhanced surfactant properties relative to the corresponding monovalent surfactants, Effigy 1.
A micelle is an aggregate of surfactant molecules dispersed in a liquid colloid. Micelles form only when the concentration of surfactant is greater than the critical micelle concentration (CMC). This type of micelle is known equally a normal-phase micelle (oil-in-water micelle). In a nonpolar solvent, a reverse micelle (h2o-in-oil micelle) forms in which the hydrophilic groups of surfactant are sequestered in the micelle core and the hydrophobic groups extend abroad from the center [3], Figure 2.

2. Classification of Kinetic Models
In this study, iii models used to study kinetics of reactions in the presence of surfactants are discussed.
two.1. Pseudophase Model
The pseudophase (or pseudophase ion-exchange (PPIE)) model was first introduced by Menger and Portnoy [4] in 1967 to study effects of surfactant micelles on the chemical reaction rates. They considered surfactant micelles as a pseudophase that can interact with some or all of reactants (or substrates), tin farther deliquesce substrates, and can modify the reaction rate of substrates. Therefore, this model cannot study the interaction betwixt the substrate and surfactant molecules below the CMC. With respect to the definition of micelle as a pseudophase, there is no stoichiometric ratio between the substrate and surfactant molecules for the presence of this interaction. The distribution constant of each substrate between solvent and micelle is defined as the bounden abiding of the substrate with a micelle. The substrate () distributes between the solvent and a micelle every bit follows: where and are the observed rate constants in the solvent and micelles, respectively. is the association abiding of the substrate with the micelles. In this model, it is assumed that a single equilibrium relation, thus one value, is applied within the whole surfactant concentration range. On the basis of the above model, the post-obit relation for the observed rate constant has been derived: where is the surfactant concentration. Depending on the number of substrates and other compounds (such as salts), relations of can be written as different forms.
2.two. Cooperativity Model
Piszkiewicz presented cooperativity model [5] in 1976 analogous to the enzyme-catalyzed reactions. This model is used but for reactions catalyzed by surfactants. He assumed that a micelle forms a noncovalent complex with the substrate before the catalysis takes place: where is the association constant of the micelle-substrate circuitous, is the charge per unit abiding for micelle-catalyzed reaction, and is the rate constant for the reaction in the absence of micelle. Similar to pseudophase model, this model assumed that there is only one equilibrium relation, thus one value inside the whole surfactant concentration range. The at any concentration of surfactant is given by where is the number of surfactant molecules per micelle. Thus, this model can written report interactions between the substrate and surfactant molecules in a higher place the CMC. An culling cooperativity model, analogous to the Colina model applied to enzyme-catalyzed reactions, was proposed that the substrate and surfactant molecules aggregate to form micelles, , which may and so react to yield product The model gives the following charge per unit equation: where is the dissociation constant of micellized surfactant-substrate complex and is the total surfactant concentration. is known as the cooperativity index and is a measure out of the association of additional surfactant molecules to an aggregate in the whole surfactant concentration range. If value is greater than one, the cooperativity of interaction is positive and if its value is less than one, the cooperativity of interaction is negative and if its value is equal to 1, the interaction is noncooperative.
two.3. Stoichiometric Model
Samiey introduced the stoichiometric (classical) model [6] in 2004. In the stoichiometric model [6], it is assumed that, in each range of surfactant concentration, the surfactant and substrate can bind together and an equilibrium relation exists. The surfactant concentration in which the equilibrium relation between the added surfactant and the species already present in the solution ends and a new equilibrium relation between the added surfactant and the compound resulted from previous equilibrium relation starts which is called "substrate-surfactant circuitous formation point" (or abbreviated equally sc bespeak) and is as follows: The CMC value of a surfactant is also a sc point and there may be some sc points higher and lower than CMC as well. The range of surfactant concentration which covers an equilibrium relation is named "region," Figure 3.
Surfactant molecules either monomeric or micellar tin can demark to the substrate molecules. Micelles can bind to the substrate by one or more number of their surfactant molecules. Thus, we tin obtain the stoichiometric ratios and binding constants of interactions betwixt surfactant molecules and with the substrate in various surfactant concentration ranges. The following equation holds for each equilibrium relation [half-dozen]: where , , , , and are the charge per unit constant in the presence of surfactant, (at first region) or (for other regions), total surfactant concentration, universal gas abiding, and absolute temperature, respectively. is the catalytic or inhibition free energy of reaction at abiding temperature and diverse surfactant concentrations. is the in the starting of each region except region one and is the in the absenteeism of surfactants. Equation (eight) is introduced as "Samiey equation" [6] and determines the concentration range of each region. If the reaction rate decreases with the increment of surfactant concentration, the sign of is positive and is called "inhibition energy" and if the reaction rate increases with increasing the surfactant concentration, the sign of is negative and is named "catalytic free energy" at constant temperature and various surfactant concentrations [half-dozen]. The unit of is kJ (mol tooth (surfactant))−i. In this model, it is assumed that in each region one substrate molecule, , binds to molecules of surfactant and we have where is the binding constant of the substrate-surfactant interaction in each region. Co-ordinate to stoichiometric model, these interactions contain two types: Type I is the interaction of which surfactant molecules have an inhibitory effect on the reaction rate, yielding a decreased reaction rate; Type Ii is the interaction of which surfactant molecules exert a catalytic effect on the reaction rate, resulting in an increased reaction rate [half dozen]. Some surfactants, testify an increased reaction rate in a certain concentration range (type I) and a decreased reaction charge per unit in the other range (type Two). The , which indicates the interaction betwixt one species of substrate with one kind of the surfactant, is species dependent and is related to the surfactant concentration as follows [6]: where and are the in the absence of surfactant (beginning of the offset region) and at each sc signal, respectively. is the reaction rate constant in the substrate-surfactant circuitous and is greater than reaction rate in pure solvent but when the surfactant has an inhibitory effect, . Going from one region to the side by side 1, if value (the average binding constant of interaction betwixt one substrate molecule and 1 surfactant molecule in each region) increases, the cooperativity of interaction is positive and if value decreases, the cooperativity of interaction is negative. The total bounden abiding and total stoichiometric ratio values for each substrate, in the th region, tin exist obtained from post-obit equations: Also, using this model nosotros can study interactions of mixed micelles with substrate molecules and summate the stoichiometric ratios and binding constants of their surfactant molecules with substrate molecules [6].
2.4. Comparing of Stoichiometric, Cooperativity, and PPIE Models
In the PPIE model, the colloidal particles of surfactant (after cmc) are considered as an ion exchanger and the bounden of substrate to them is considered like the division of a substrate betwixt the two phases (micelle and solvent). In the PPIE and cooperativity models, the stoichiometric ratio of surfactant (as micelle) to the substrate is i : i and at that place is one average binding constant for substrate-surfactant compound in the whole surfactant concentration range, while in the stoichiometric model the stoichiometric ratio of surfactant (either micellar or monomeric) to the substrate is northward : one and in each region there is a new equilibrium relation and therefore a new binding constant, a new stoichiometric ratio, and negative or positive cooperativity [6].
The PPIE and cooperativity models is not applicable in the region before the cmc betoken of surfactant, merely in the stoichiometric model the binding of substrate to the monomeric surfactant is considered.
In the PPIE and cooperativity models, for the cases in which the reaction charge per unit increases in one range of surfactant concentration and decreases in another range, it is assumed that in average there is one type of interaction between surfactant and substrate molecules. Therefore, there is ane binding constant for whole range of the surfactant concentrations. Just, in these cases, in the stoichiometric model it is assumed that the substrate molecules have different interactions with surfactant molecules and the reaction is catalyzed in ane or more regions and inhibited in some other region(s). Therefore, the binding constants are not identical in different regions.
In the PPIE and cooperativity models, it is assumed that the rate constant in micelle is not usually equal to zero. But in the stoichiometric model, it is causeless that the rate abiding in micelle for catalysis of reaction is more than the rate abiding of free substrate and in the state of inhibition of reaction, information technology is equal to nil.
In the PPIE and cooperativity models, only one sc point is assumed which corresponds to the cmc of surfactant. But in the stoichiometric model, there are various sc points including cmc.
In the PPIE and cooperativity models, the binding constant and stoichiometric ratio of single type substrate-surfactant interaction are measured. Just in the stoichiometric model, we can evaluate the stoichiometric ratios and bounden constants of multiple type substrate-surfactant interactions in each region [6].
In the stoichiometric model, K values calculated for each region obey the Van't Hoff equation whereas the binding constants obtained from the PPIE and cooperativity models are not and then in most of the cases.
3. Modify in the Chemical Reaction Rate in the Presence of Surfactants
Interaction of surfactant molecules with substrates can event in decreasing or increasing the reaction charge per unit or changing the yield of reaction and sometimes these surfactant molecules human action as reactants. In this section, we discuss the role of temperature and cosolvents on the interactions between surfactants and substrates as well as the furnishings of caput group, chain length, charge, and concentration of surfactants in a series of reactions, for instance, Diels-Alder, redox, photochemical, decomposition, enzymatic, isomerization, ligand exchange, radical, and nucleophilic reactions. Furthermore, this section too discusses the potential role of surfactants as a reactant.
3.1. Diels-Alder Reactions
The Diels-Alder reaction is an organic chemical reaction (specifically, a cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile, to course a substituted cyclohexene system. Because the majority of the diene and dienophile intermolecular Diels-Alder reactions have a rather pronounced nonpolar character, an efficient binding of both substrates to micelles is anticipated. This would imply that the effective reaction volume for the Diels-Alder reaction is significantly reduced, leading to micellar catalysis [7].
A study on the reaction of cyclopentadiene with a series of dienophiles shows the roles of charge and substituent groups in their interaction with surfactants [8–12].
In the reaction of acridizinium bromide (a cationic dienophile) with cyclopentadiene, a x-fold reaction rate is induced past anionic SDS micelles, whereas nonionic TX-100 and cationic 1-Due north-dodecyl-four-methylpyridinium bromide have only modest effects on the reaction charge per unit [8]. The efficient catalysis past SDS about likely results from electrostatically enhanced bounden of the dienophile to the micelles [8, ix]. But the reaction rate of ane,2-dicyanoethylene with cyclopentadienedecreases with the increase of SDS concentrations which is due to weak interactions between i,2-dicyanoethylene and SDS micelles [x]. It seems to indicate toward the Stern region of the micelles equally the prominent site for this Diels-Alder reaction.
Rispens and Engberts [11] studied the reaction rate of cyclopentadiene with a series of North-substituted maleimides in SDS micellar media. They observed that, upwards to thirty mM of SDS, the reaction rate of cyclopentadiene with N-methyl maleimide is abiding while its rate with N-butyl and North-benzyl substituted maleimideincreases with the size of substituent group. This is because the butyl and benzyl substituent groups lead to deeper solubilization of N-substituted maleimide in the SDS micelle compared to the methyl-substituted chemical compound. Evidence suggests that the reaction in the micellar phase mainly takes place in the region between the core and the Stern layer, thereby still experiencing a polar environment. In all the to a higher place-mentioned cases, the apolar cyclopentadiene might be expected to mainly reside in the apolar micellar cadre. Information technology was observed that if the SDS concentration is more 30 mM, the reaction rate decreases. Pseudophase model considers just one kind of interaction occurring between SDS and substrate molecules within the whole SDS concentration range and calculated that value is less than . Still, it seems that pseudophase model fails to testify that is greater than when the SDS concentration is less than xxx mM.
Simonyan and Gitsov [12] studied the first Diels-Alder reaction performed in an aqueous medium with highly hydrophobic compounds, such equally fullerene (C60) as the dienophile and anthracene or tetracene as the dienes, respectively. The reactions were performed in nanocontainers, constructed by cocky-assembly of linear-dendritic amphiphilic copolymers, Figure 4. Surfactants can likewise bear on the endo/exoselectivity [thirteen], regioselectivity [14], and enantioselectivity [15] of the Diels-Alder reactions.
3.ii. Redox Reactions
The catalytic effects of SDS, NaBDS (anionic gemini surfactant), and mixed surfactants (SDS + NaBDS) on the oxidation rate of D-fructose by alkaline chloramine-T have been investigated [16]. The observed catalytic result of mixed micelle on the oxidation rate was e'er less than the combination of the catalytic effects of two individual surfactants, suggesting an antagonism (negative synergism) in the mixed micelle. The antagonism has also been confirmed by determining the CMC and the interaction parameter of mixed micelle. According to the pseudophase model, and values of interaction of D-fructose with SDS were 8.ii G−1 and xvi.5 × 10−4 south−1 and those of D-fructose with NaBDS were 400 M−1 and 17.nine × 10−4 s−ane at 35°C, respectively.
The catalytic effects of zwitterionic micellar solutions of SB3-xiv and SB3-16 on the redox reaction of have been studied using the pseudophase model [17]. The and values of with SB3-14 were 310 G−i and i.24 × 10−3 s−i and those of with SB3-16 were 3100 M−1 and 0.99 × ten−3 s−one, respectively. In the presence of the same concentrations of surfactants, the reaction rate of using SB3-16 is less than that of using SB3-14. It seems that deeper solubilization of in SB3-16 micelles decreases its reaction charge per unit with .
Vanadium (V) oxidation of D-glucose was studied in the presence of CPC, SDS, and TX-100 [18]. CPC inhibits the reaction, while SDS and TX-100 accelerate the reaction to different extents. The observed furnishings were studied by the cooperativity model and were explained by considering the hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions between the surfactants and substrates. Similarly, oxidation reactions of Ce(IV) [nineteen] or oxyanions such as [20, 21] and [22] with organic compounds have been studied in the presence of surfactants.
Surfactants tin can bear upon the nucleation and growth kinetics [23, 24] and the reduction [25] of nanocompounds. For instance, colloidal silver particles in the nanometer size range were synthesized in ethanol, by the reduction of AgNO3 with nonionic surfactants Brij 97 and Tween 80 [25]. The main conclusion is that surfactants reduce silverish ions to the neutral country through the oxidation of oxyethylene groups into hydroperoxides. Surfactant molecules afterward were adsorbed onto the surface of particles, promoting steric stabilization. This adsorption permits as well the transfer of the particles into nonpolar solvents through a dry out country where no particle aggregation occurs.
As reported [26–29], the electron transfer reaction was studied in the presence of surfactants. The electron transfer reaction between [Co(NHiii)5(N-cyanopiperidine)]3+, pentaammine(N-cyanopiperidine)-cobalt(3), and hexacyanoferrate(II) has been studied in aqueous solutions [29]. The alteration of electron transfer rate abiding in the presence of SDS, Brij 35, and TX-100 has been investigated at 298.two K. The rationalization of the experimental data was assisted by the use of the Marcus theory on electron transfer. The conclusion is that the micellar furnishings on the electron transfer rate constant can be explained past considering the micelles as a special background electrolyte with a high electric charge and a potent ability of hydration.
Surfactants can bear on the fourth dimension stability of cation radicals [30, 31]. Equally reported, the time stability of diethazine cation radical (DE+•) decreased in the presence of surfactants [thirty]. Below the CMC, Septonex (a cationic surfactant) monomers cannot interact with DE+• and practise not touch on the degradation rate. To a higher place the CMC, the DE+• degradation is catalyzed by Septonex micelles that are able to demark to DE+• particles through hydrophobic interactions, without associating with H+ ions. The DE+• degradation, occurring in the micellar pseudophase relatively poor in H+ ions, is therefore much faster. The result of nonionic surfactant TX-305 is similar with the cationic surfactant but less significant. On the other paw, the associations of DE+• with SDS premicelle aggregates which practise not demark to H+ ions formed below the CMC of SDS and the rate of DE+• decomposition quickly increases with the increase in SDS concentration. For the concentrations of SDS higher than the CMC, DE+• radicals are bound to the negatively charged surface of micelles, together with H+ ions. Therefore, the DE+• decomposition reaction is inhibited at college surface local H+ activity and the DE+• deposition rates decrease.
3.iii. Photochemical Reactions
The solutions of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-fifty,fifty-dimethylurea (monuron) were photolyzed in aqueous media containing nonionic surfactants [32]. The TX-100, TX-405, TMN-six, and TMN-ten were used to elucidate the influences of aryl- and alkyl-substituted polyoxyethylene glycol surfactants. Concentrations of all surfactant solutions were higher up each individual CMC. Samples were examined under oxygenated and nonoxygenated weather condition. The presence of surfactants enhances the degradation charge per unit of monuron, eliminates ring hydroxylation reactions, and promotes the reductive dechlorination reaction. Monuron is adsorbed on the lyophilic surface or into lipophilic core of micelles. Similar to that observed for the photolysis of nitroaromatic [33] and 2-chlorophenol [34] compounds, the results indicate that these photochemical reactions occur in the organic stage of the micelles rather than the aqueous stage of the solvent. In addition to the interaction with substrate, surfactants tin can sometimes deed every bit an additional source of hydrogen for the reaction [35, 36].
The TiO2 photosensitized oxidation of 4-dodecyloxybenzyl alcohol, which is water insoluble, was investigated in aqueous solutions of anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants [37]. The reaction, which is practically absent in water, is greatly enhanced by several surfactants at concentrations college than CMC and the effect is strongly dependent on the nature of the surfactant. The increment of surfactant concentration leads to more substrate molecules, solubilized in micelles, which are transported shut to the TiOii particle surface where the photooxidation reaction takes place. After a certain concentration which varies with the nature of the surfactant, the presence of competitive partition of comicellized 4-dodecyloxybenzyl alcohol (substrate) between TiO2 surface (where the reaction occurs) and bulk solvent tends to diminish the beneficial kinetic effect of surfactant.
For Northward,Due north,N′,N′-tetramethylbenzidine solubilized in mixed micelles of C12E6/SDS or C12E6/DTAC, the electron spin-echo and electron spin resonance spectra of photogenerated cations prove that the photoionization yield depends on the sign of net charge of the mixed micelle and on the strength of the photocation-water interaction [38]. It is found that the photoyield is enhanced by the presence of mixed micelles with a net positive accuse, probably due to the fact that electron escaping from the micelle is facilitated in cationic micelles.
Photogalvanic effects were studied in photogalvanic cells containing SDS as a surfactant, EDTA as a reductant, and azur-B every bit a photosensitizer [39]. The used SDS solubilizes the dye more easily and stabilizes the system and may increase the probability of charge transfer between the surfactant and the dye in the system compared to the tunneling of photoelectrons from the micellar phase to the aqueous stage.
three.4. Decomposition Reactions
In the presence of SDS micelles, i-naphthalenediazonium () is incorporated into the micellar aggregates, given the estimated of 290 M−1 and . It shows that a significant fraction of 1-naphthalenediazonium is incorporated into the micellar pseudophase at low-surfactant concentrations, where it undergoes thermal decomposition in the Stern layer [40].
Brinchi et al. [41] studied the decarboxylation of anionic half-dozen-nitrobenzisoxazole-iii-carboxylate (6-NBIC) and its 5-methyl derivative (6-NBIC-5-Me) in the presence of a series of several cationic cetyltrialkylammonium bromide surfactants including CTAB, CTEAB, CTPAB, and CTBAB, Effigy 5.
Cationic micelles of cetyltrialkylammonium bromide facilitate the decarboxylation of both 6-NBIC and half-dozen-NBIC-five-Me past decreasing activation enthalpies. It was observed that the reaction rates and values increase with the head group size of surfactants. It was also observed that the reaction rate increases with the surfactant concentration when the surfactant concentration is low and and so decreases with further increment in the surfactant concentration. It seems that with increase in the surfactant concentration, different interactions are involved between substrate and surfactants molecules in these ii cases. But, using the pseudophase model, only one and value are calculated for the interaction of substrate with each of these surfactants in the whole range of surfactant concentration.
On the other hand, surfactant chain length can affect its interaction with substrates [42, 43]. The kinetics study of the acid hydrolysis of anionic N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide (MNTS) in media containing different cationic micellar aggregates LTAB, TTAB, CTAB, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) [42] shows that the values of interaction between MNTS and surfactants increase with the concatenation length of surfactants. As reported [44], using cationic gemini surfactants with longer chain length increases the cleavage of carboxylate ester.
Jiang et al. [45] studied effects of increasing in both charge and chain length of surfactant. They investigated the cleavage of phosphate diesters mediated by Zn(Two) complex in micellar solutions of cationic gemini sixteen-2-16 and CTAB, Figure six. They observed that the cleavage rate of diester using CTAB is only well-nigh 40% of that using gemini 16-two-xvi micelles nether comparable conditions. This is due to the doubling of chain length and charge of gemini 16-2-16 compared to CTAB.
3.v. Enzymatic Reactions
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) extracted from tabular array beet leaves [46], potato leaf [47], persimmon fruit [48], and -chymotrypsin [49] was activated in the presence of SDS, SDS/DS mixed micelles, SDS, and DTAB, respectively, and their activities, due to denaturation, are decreased at higher surfactant concentrations. The kinetic parameters of interaction of two samples of PPO with surfactants [46, 47] were calculated past the stoichiometric model [half dozen]. Results bear witness that the positive cooperativity is observed during these interactions. But, activity of PPO extracted from beet root [50] is increased in the practical SDS concentration range and its kinetic parameters were calculated using the Hill equation that is similar to (six) used in the cooperativity model. For soluble PPO, the values of Hill coefficient of tyramine, dopamine, Fifty-tyrosine, and L-DOPA substrates were two.ii, 2.seven, iii.9, and 4.ii, indicating that the number of SDS molecules needed for activation is higher for more hydrophilic substrates. These results corroborate that the ability of SDS to actuate the enzyme involves a limited conformational alter due to the binding of pocket-size amounts of SDS [51]. The access of hydrophobic substrates to the agile site is favored since the kickoff molecules of SDS are bound to the enzyme, while hydrophilic substrates require a deeper change for full access (activity).
Enzymatic synthesis using lipase in organic solvents has several advantages [52, 53]. The solubility of nonpolar substrates is increased in organic solvents, and the reaction management tin be shifted to favor synthesis over hydrolysis. Withal, like all other natural enzymes, organic solvents easily denature lipase. To avert the deactivation of enzyme in organic media, modification of enzyme surface past blanket it with surfactants has been studied [52]. For example, it was observed that whereas the unmodified lipase from B. cepacia was insoluble in tert-butyl alcohol, the propylene glycol monostearate-coated lipase exhibited an enhanced solubility in tert-butyl alcohol at the reaction temperature [52]. The formation of reverse micelles stabilized the enzyme in the organic solvent; otherwise, the enzyme would have been denatured past removing the surrounding microaqueous layer, Figure 7.
3.six. Isomerization, Ligand Exchange, and Radical Reactions
Gille et al. [54] studied the thermal cis-trans-isomerization of iv,iv′-nitroanilinoazobenzene dye in the presence SDS, TX-100, and Igepal CA-520. In microheterogeneous h2o/surfactant solutions isomerization rate constant values of selected azo dyes were strongly dependent on the concentrations of SDS and TX-100 in h2o and varied with the limerick of bicontinuous microemulsions of Igepal CA-520/heptane/h2o. The large spread of isomerization rate constants is in part due to varying microviscosity.
They showed that the trans-azo dyes take a abiding balancing average microenvironment in the water/surfactant interface layer in a wide range of micelle concentrations. The isomerization rates of cis-isomer decrease by an guild of magnitude with increasing the surfactant concentration, in part due to increasing microviscosity.
The rate of ligand substitution reaction betwixt and pyrazine is decreased in the presence of CTAB [55]. The kinetic data showed that both nonmicellized and micellized CTAB are operative kinetically and interact with Atomic number 26(CN)vHtwoOiii−. The pseudophase model can be used to study this interaction only for CTAB concentrations above its CMC and the calculated and were 260 M−1 and 12.seven s−one, respectively. This strong interaction competes with the ligand substitution reaction. Similarly, the written report of substitution rate of 4-cyanopyridine (4-CNpy) in Fe(CN)(four-CNpy)3− by in the presence of CTAB and TTAB shows that the longer the concatenation length of surfactant is, the more the reaction rates decreased [56]. On the other hand, it was observed that the reaction charge per unit is not influenced by changes in the concentration of TX-100 and SDS. This observation shows the importance of preliminary electrostatic and and so hydrophobic interactions of surfactants and substrates on the ligand substitution reaction rate.
Graciani et al. [57] showed that the rate of substitution of bipyridine (bpy) in Iron(CN)four(bpy)2− by increases in the presence of zwitterionic surfactant SB3-14. The moderate interaction of positive headgroup of SB3-14 with substrates increases their concentrations on the surface of SB3-xiv micelles and increases the reaction rate. Here, the authors calculated bounden constants of SB3-xiv to Fe(CN)4(bpy)ii− and separately using kinetic information in the pseudophase model and using conductometry information, respectively.
Emulsion polymerization is an example for radical reactions in the presence of surfactants [58–lx]. Tang et al. [60] studied copolymerization of methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, and styrene in combination with a h2o-soluble anionic monomer (methacrylic acid or acrylic acrid) and a nonionic monomer (N-methylol acrylamide). The emulsifier surfactant, DSB, at a level greater than its CMC generated particle nuclei past micelle nucleation and controlled the particle size, particle size distribution, and the rate of polymerization.
3.7. Nucleophilic Reactions
Studies prove that the reaction rates of a number of nucleophilic reactions of hydroxide ion with neutral compounds in the presence of cationic surfactants start increment and and then subtract with increase in surfactant concentration [61–68] and the catalytic effect of cationic surfactants increases with the increase of their chain length [61, 66, 68]. As well, the reaction rate decreases in the presence of anionic surfactants [63, 65, 67, 69] and decreases with increment in the surfactant chain length [70]. In the one-time case, the formation of positively charged cationic surfactant/substrate complex promotes the reaction rate and then the interaction of more cationic surfactant molecules (having hydrophobic chains) with substrate decreases its interaction with negatively charged hydroxide ions. Simply, in the pseudophase model only one kind of interaction is considered within the whole surfactant concentration range and just 1 binding abiding is calculated. In the latter case, the interaction of anionic surfactants with neutral substrates increases the electronic repulsion between the resulted complex and hydroxide ions.
On the other mitt, the reaction rates of a number of nucleophiles (other than hydroxide ion) with neutral [71–73] and anionic [74–79] substrates are increased in the presence of cationic surfactants. Information technology was observed that the increment in the chain length of cationic surfactants [75] and adding TX-100 [79] to the reaction media decreases the reaction rate. Also, results testify that adding organic cosolvents [76–78] to the surfactant-contained media further decreases the reaction rate compared to that in the presence of surfactant only. These observations are due to the added organic cosolvents increment the CMC of surfactants and the interaction of TX-100 with cationic surfactants (in their mixed micelles) competes for its interaction with substrate molecules.
In improver to interaction with substrate molecules, surfactants sometimes can form ion pairs with them. As an instance, it has been reported that SDS attacks cationic crystal violet dye and causes the formation of dye-surfactant ion pair [80].
As reported, reactions of some triphenylmethane dyes with hydroxide ion (fading) in the presence of surfactants have been studied by cooperativity, pseudophase, and stoichiometric models [81–84]. For comparison the results obtained from these models, the fading rate of cationic methyl greenish (MEtwo+) dye in the presence of SDS [83] is studied. According to the stoichiometric model, in the used concentration range of SDS, there are three regions (or three kinds of interactions) at each temperature and the information of collected below the CMC are used in the calculations, Table one.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dimension of is in kJ (mol molar(surfactant))−1. Dimension of SDS concentration in the Samiey equation is in M. Dimension of is in . | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Preliminary electrostatic so hydrophobic interactions of SDS with ME2+ decrease the positive charge of ME2+ and decrease the reaction charge per unit of ME2+ with hydroxide ion. With the increase of SDS concentration, the reaction rate decreases and thus in each region. Besides, from the first to the 3rd region, the impact of SDS on the reaction rate decreases and thus values subtract. At each temperature, from the first to the 3rd region, the values in each region decrease and thus the cooperativity of reaction is negative. Reactions in the first and second regions are exothermic and those in the third region are endothermic, resulting in a negative value of . Using the data of different regions of SDS and TX-100, the data of fading reaction of MEii+ in their mixtures was analyzed and stoichiometric ratios and binding constants of them with ME2+ were calculated.
According to the cooperativity model, the interaction of SDS with ME2+ is endothermic and and, at all temperatures, the cooperativity of process is positive. The information of fading reaction in the presence of SDS did not fit to the pseudophase model. This example shows that the obtained results are not similar to each other due to the dissimilar presumptions used in pseudophase, cooperativity, and stoichiometric models.
4. Conclusions
This review discusses effects of unlike kinds of surfactants in a serial of chemic reactions including Diels-Alder, redox, photochemical, decomposition, enzymatic, isomerization, ligand exchange, radical, and nucleophilic reactions. These interactions were catalyzed or inhibited via the alter in the dielectric constant of microenvironment or/and the charge of substrate molecules. As observed in all discussed examples, preliminary electrostatic and and then hydrophobic interactions occur betwixt surfactants and substrate molecules. Substrate/surfactant interactions are studied using pseudophase, cooperativity, and stoichiometric models. Due to different assumptions fabricated in these models, results obtained from them may be different from each other.
