摘要
The structure of aggregates formed by eight surfactant [Ru(biPY)(2)(p,p'-dialkyl-2,2'-bipy)]Cl-2 complexes - which we express as (RuqCn)-C-p, where n (=12 or 19) is the alkyl chain length, p (=4 or 5) refers to the substitution position on the bipyridine ligand, and q (=1 or 2) is the number of substituted alkyl chains-in aqueous solutions has been examined using small-angle neutron scattering for a range of concentrations close to the critical micelle concentration and for several combinations of n, p, and q. A number of general results emerge. The double-chain surfactants possess a smaller headgroup charge but a larger aggregate size than their single-chain analogues. Over the concentration range studied, the micelles of the single-chain surfactants grow as the concentration is increased, whereas for the double-chain systems, the aggregate size remains unchanged. For both single- and double-chain surfactants, an increase in alkyl chain length is accompanied by an expected increase in aggregate size and an increase in average headgroup charge. The aggregates formed in solutions of resolved double-chain complexes are larger than those found in solutions of racemic mixtures. The (Ru1C12)-C-4 and (Ru1C12)-C-5 systems form aggregates with high water content. Variation of the substitution position for the single-chain surfactants produces dramatic changes in the structure of the micelles. The aggregates formed in solutions of (Ru1C19)-C-4 and (Ru1C19)-C-5 display particularly different structures. The (Ru1C19)-C-4 system forms essentially spherical aggregates. In contrast, in the (Ru1C19)-C-5 system, wormlike aggregates are formed in which the rigid rodlike sections appear to undergo a transition from a noninterdigitated to an interdigitated structure as the concentration is increased. For double-chain surfactants, the aggregation number for p = 4 surfactants is considerably larger than that for p = 5 surfactants.
