Abstract
Study between ninhydrin and valine (VL) reaction was investigated in 14-s-16 (s = 4 to 6) gemini surfactants (GS) by UV–visible spectroscopy. Rate constant (kψ) rises gradually and stays almost fixed with increasing [gemini]. Finally, at higher concentrations, we notice a sharp increment in rates. This uncommon influence of geminis at higher concentrations is assigned to modifications in their micellar structures. Catalytic behavior of geminis is unique and increased rates can be explained by applying a pseudo-phase model of micelles. Conductivity meter was employed to evaluate critical micellar concentration (cmc) of pure gemini micelles as well as their mixed system with reactants (ninhydrin and VL) at two different temperatures (303 K and 353 K). The cmc values of pure 14-s-14 surfactants at 303 K determined are concordant with the data obtained, previously. Several other constants and parameters, e.g., binding parameters, rate constants and thermodynamic quantities are also determined.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics publishes experimental and theoretical papers on all aspects of chemical physics. In this journal, experiments are related to theory, and in turn theoretical papers are related to present or future experiments. Subjects covered include: spectroscopy and molecular structure, interacting systems, relaxation phenomena, biological systems, materials, fundamental problems in molecular reactivity, molecular quantum theory and statistical mechanics. Computational chemistry studies of routine character are not appropriate for this journal.
