MATERIAL CAPTURE IN THE SURFACTANT SOLID STATE

Abstract An interesting behavior of gaseous capture of materials by solid surfactant matrices was examined in comparison with behaviors of other substances (other matrices) which possess long alkyl chain and supposedly similar crystal structure to the surfactant. Through this study it was revealed that the behavior of gaseous capture of materials was characteristic to the surfactant species. Of all surfactants cationic species was conspicuous followed by nonionics, while in anionics the behavior was very poor. Among cationics quaternary and tertiary species especially superior to any other class. For these cationic surfactant species the powder X- ray diffraction measurement disclosed that the gaseous capture of materials remarkably modified matrix surfactant crystal lattices, causing the surfactant molecular complex formation which had already been established by authors.

INTRODUCTION

We have already reported the wide formation of molecular complexes between

surfactants and various materials as additives. 1-3 Irrespective of the surfactant species

(ionics or nonionics) and of their chemical natures of additves the existence of the

surfactant molecular complex formation has clearly been established through elementary

analysis, uv spectroscopy e t ~ . ' ~ Especially quaternary ammonium cationic surfactats

easily provide many crystalline complexes.293 Some of them have revealed the crystal

structure of the surfactant molecular complexes by X-ray analyses4

These surfactant molecular complex crystals are generally deposited from

homogeneously solubilized solution systems when kept standing at a cooled condition

after an attainment of the equilibrium of the solubilization conventionally treated in

aqueous The surfactant molecular complex crystals thus obtained are promptly

dissolved when the solutions are warmed up after recovering all the solution

characteristics and resulting the solubilized solution systems as they were.273 It seems

that these observations are fill of suggestion to solve the problem of the "s~lubilization".~

On the other hand we have found some alternative methods to obtain those surfact- < 1

ant molecular complexes, e.g.,solid state mixing of both components and gaseous capture

of the additive species to the solid surfactants etc.6 Any of these is quite effective when

the surfactants have potential to provide the molecular complexes in a pertinent pair of

surfactants with additives. The complex formation is readily followed by the X-ray

powder method, detecting the diffraction shift based on the lattice modification.

In this report we described the interesting behavior of the gaseous capture of

materials to solid surfactants as main matrices, comparing the behaviors with other

matrices which had long alkyl chains and polar groups such as higher alcohols, amines

and fatty acids and others to know whether the analogous behaviors are commonly

observable among those matrices. These substances selected for matrices are

crystallographically well-known to be almost analogous to the surfactant, being in parallel

arranged with the long alkyl chains in zigzag planar form to make layer structure with

each ~iher.’?~

Through these studies concerning the ability of the complex formation of those

matrix substances with wide variety of captured materials such as phenols, amines, etc.,

we have acquired several knowledges that the ability to accept materials to form the

molecular complexes is just specific to the surfactant species,i.e.,the higher alcohols,

amines, fatty acids and others as matrices only apparently exhibit weight increase but

substantially no responce to the gaseous capture of materials associated with their crystal

lattice deformation, except for a special partner like an acid-base pair, and that the ability

is the highest in cationic surfactant species and it follows in the order of nonionics and

anionics. Among the ammonium cationics the quaternary and tertiary species had

comparable high abilities and marked feasibilities to accept materials into their crystal

lattices. The nonionic and anionic species followed the cationics but the latter was far

inferior to the former and the lower classes of cationic ammoniums also showed almost

none of effect to crystal lattice deformation by capturing materials. This trend well

corresponds to the surfactant potential for the complex formation together with additive

materials.

Although higher alcohols, amines and fatty acids exhibited a considerable

acceptability to materials, their capturing behaviors seemed to be apparent. However

these matrices obviously suggested some other interesting effects of an access of gaseous

materials to cause intensified very sharp diffraction peaks with clear periodicity over a

very wide 2 8 range. The change seems to be due to a gradual breaking of hydrogen

bonds of those matrices by the access of gaseously captured materials so as to be resulted

in an easily mobilized condition of matrix molecules and to form a stratified structure.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Matrices of the gaseous material capture treated in this study are summarized in Table 1

together with their abbreviations.

As typical profiles the gaseous capture of o-bromophenol and o-toluidine at 55°C

to surfactant matrices and to other matrix substances are illustrated in Figure 1 and 2. For

the capture of o-bromophenol a cationic surfactant, CDAB, showed the highest ability

followed by 985 (nonionic) and other cationic surfactants group. Stearylamine looks

rather prominent but its ability to the phenols is due to the basic afsnity to acidic

substances. The similar result of acid-base relation is encountered in a stearic acidlo-

toluidine system as seen in Figure 2. Among the matrices almost typical anionic

surfactants like sodium stearate and sodium lauryl sulfate showed very little tendency to

accept phenols like o-bromophenol andp-cresol. This tendency of the typical anionics is

very common also to accept basic substances like o-toluidine. For a weak anionic

surfactant like SLBS the ability was medium. Of the other matrices the long alkyl chain

substances containing paraffin are also not so effective to the phenols. The weight

increase exhibited in these species especially in paraffin seems to be an apparent result

associated to the vapor condensation in the crystal crevices or on the surface areas.

In the group of cationics quaternary ammonium salts (CTAB etc.) showed a

considerable excellence compared with other ammonium matrices. It has already been

established that they have an outstanding ability to accept many phenols to provide highly

stable crystalline molecular c o m p l e x e ~ ~ ~ ~ and that the lower classes (secondq and

primary) ammoniums have no ability to accept phenols into their crystal lattices as

estimated by X-ray diffraction diagrams shown later, though CMAB apparently shows a

high acceptability to the phenol. As for those quaternary ammoniums it appeared that at

low temperatures the shorter the alkyl chain in the homolog was the more preferable to

accept materials, while the order was reversed at higher temperature. However, this

observation is well recognized through an estimation of the apparent activation energy

necessary to be taken up into the surfactant crystal lattice to generate the complex species.

The estimated values of the apparent activation energy in referred to their alkyl chain

length in the homologs are listed in Table 2 showing that those ammoniums have much

preferable affinity to phenols than to amines with less values to the former than to the

latter.

The quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants widely exhibit the ability to accept

aromatic amines as well as phenols to provide crystalline molecular complexe~.~ Some

of these were X-ray crystallographically analy~ed.~ In this study of the gaseous capture

the ability was observed as shown in Figure 2. The cationic surfactant, CDAB, is also

superior to any other substance, followed by higher amine and alcohol and other

cationics. Thus, the fact that quaternary ammoniums (CTAB etc.) are grouped in a

significant class with high ability to accept amines and also effective to provide the

molecular complexes with these amines are well supported by the shift of the X-ray

diffraction patterns of the powder method.

The other materials tried to be captured by the surfactant matrices such as

aldehydes and ketones etc., showed almost very poor effect although the data were

omitted here. For these materials nonionic and cationic surfactant matrices also appear

to have some potentials. The X-ray studies, however, denied the ability to accept those

materials to the surfactant crystal lattices, deducing a presumable condensation on the

surface or to the crystal crevice.

As stated above o-bromophenol and p-cresol are unambiguously established to

provide molecular complexes together with quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants

such as CTAB.’ Many of these groups have afforded us informations as to their crystal

structures through the X-ray ~rystallography.~ In relation to these facts some clear

modifications of the surfactant crystal lattices observed in the course of capturing phenols

are presented in Figure 3 through 7. In the Figures the lowest angle dif€raction of

CTAB etc. alone which is due to almost stretched hydrocarbon chain in trans-zigzag form

is, for instance in CTAB (Figure 3 ), shifted to much lower angle side to such extent as to

disappear out of the Figure. This evidences an elongation of surfactant crystal lattices

involved by the intrusion of materials through the gaseous capture. The fact of the

lattice expansion is quite consistent with the surfactant molecular complex formation

already established through their structural analy~es.~ The similar effect of expansion of

the surfactant crystal lattices is also observed in other systems which provide surfactant

molecular complexes containing CDAB system as seen in Figure 4 through 7.

MATERIAL CAPTURE OF SOLID SURFACTANT 63

Matrix groups of weakly or little effective to gaseous capture, with almost no shift

of diffraction, however, revealed another aspect that some small peaks concealed in

rather noisy background become sharper and far more eminent with increase of the

intensity and that they were scattered in perfectly equalized distance over a very wide 2

8 range. The strict periodicity of the peak distance enable us to evaluate the Bragg angle

of much lower side below 3 degree. Most matrices dealt with in this study have the

longest spacings in such very low angle regions resigned by the machine limit. An

estimated d value for C180H, for instance, was obtained to be 41.2A. The value is

quite appropriate assuming that two molecules of the alcohol with each extended

hydrocarbon chains are dimerized through composing hydrogen

These aspects predict an occurrence of stratified structure aroused by an intrusion

of gaseously captured materials into matrix lattices. Such a structure seems to be

inherent to molecules which have long alkyl chain and polar head group moieties and

behave themselves like mesogens. Therefore no such effects of the stratum inducement

were observed in solid paraffin which just consisted of hydrocarbon chain without any

polar head group. It seems that presumably the gaseously captured materials access the

matrix surface and cause gradual disruption of hydrogen bonds of the higher alcohols,

amines, aliphatic acids etc., and a subsequent enhancement of the well ordered array of

these molecules. As typical examples in Figure 8 through 10 profiles of such stratum

lattice inducing systems containing low class ammoniums and a higher alcohol are

presented. The structure encountered here might be supposed to a kind of crystal form

transient to that of smectic stratums in which the array of molecules were actually

believed to be much more d i s t ~ r b e d . ~ ~ ' ~ In contrast to such smectic structures these

gaseously captured systems, of course, yet persists in the crystalline lattices as directly

indicated by the dieaction peak sharpness.

Thus the relationship between the acceptability of the gaseous material to the

surfactant matrix and their lattice modification to cause the molecular complex formation

detected by the powder X-ray diffraction has been clarified. In accordance with these

observations the thermogravimetry of specimens of different capturing characteristics

offered results which showed the stability of the captured materials in various matrices.

bromophenol, lo-toluidine, CAB/o-bromophenol, lo-toluidine, and stearyl alcohollo-

toluidine systems. The former two systems are grouped in a class of tight capture of

materials to the surfactant matrices and the latter three are in another class of apparent

capture. The former systems draw slowly decreasing curves with temperature which

imply the tight occlusion of the phenol and the amine in the molecular complex crystal

lattices presumably yielded in these systems, whereas in the latter systems the apparent

capture induces extremely rapid decrease in weight. The difference between two

systems is very conspicuous especially in two CAB systems with quite varied aspect.

In the diagram an added behavior of the weight decrease of CTABlp-cresol

complex system is quite useful to compare with those of the others. The nearly similar

decreasing behavior found in CTABlo-bromophenol suggest an existence of strong

interaction between them causing the surfactant molecular complex formation. Some

clear difference observed in CTABlo-bromophenol and CTABlo-toluidine might be

referred to the grade of the affinity of acidic and basic materials to CTAB matrix. The

affinity difference of these materials seems also to be reflected on the clear difference of

the activation energy necessary for each material to be accepted in the CTAB etc. matrix

crystal lattices.(see Table 2)

EXPERIMENTAL

The amount of the gaseous capture of materials (p-cresol, o-bromophenol and o-

toluidine) to various matrices was followed by the weight increase of the matrices which

were exposed to the vapor of the above materials at a definte temperature for a

designated time period. X-ray diffraction measurements by Cuk a beam were relied on

a GEIGER FLEX RAD-2B of Rigaku Denki Co.,Ltd. (Tokyo) operated at a 40kV,

30mA condition. Thermogravimetry was carried out by using Rigaku THERMOFLEX

MATERIAL CAPTURE OF SOLID SURFACTANT 69

analogous crystal structure were compared with each other. As to matrices for the

gaseous capture of several materials such as phenols, aromatic amines, aldehyde and

ketones, the acceptability of the surfactant species excelled to any other matrix. Among

surfactant matrices cationics exhibited the most excellent ability followed by the nonionic

species with considerable excellence and by very poor anionics. Of the cationic species

the quaternary and tertiary ammonium salts were always prominent in the acceptability of

the gaseous capture of various materials, while the lower classes ammoniums showed

only very poor acceptability. These ability were supported through X-ray studies which

showed the shift of the diffraction peaks. The peak shift positively proved crystal lattice

modifications of the surfactant matrices involved by the gaseous capture of materials into

the surfactant crystal. The tendency of the acceptability of materials were directly

associated with the availability of the surfactant complexes and also deeply correlated to

the solubilizing power of those surfactant species for those materials. On the other hand,

it is very interesting to note that the matrices group which shows no shift of diffractions in

the course of the gaseous capture of various materials and no tendency of molecular

complex formation with matrix substances is deeply associated with an occurrence of

very remarkable stratified structures induced by an intrusion of a small amount of

materials. It appears that those gaseously captured materials improved the arrangement

of molecules in the original matrix crystal lattice to a well ordered stratum array involved

by a disruption of hydrogen bonds.

ACKOWLEDGEMENT

We would like to thank Prof. Y. Ohashi of Tokyo Institute of Technology for providing

crystallographical data of surfactant molecular complexes, and Prof K. Okuyama of

Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology for valuable discussions and comments.
