Incorporação de solutos não iônicos em micelas de alquil óxido de difenila dissulfonados / Incorporation of non ionic solutes in alkyl diphenyloxide disulfonate micelles

The solubilization of non ionic molecules in detergent micelles is a property that has been extensively investigated and that is of great practical importance. Several applications in which solubilization is of relevance are detergency, remediation of contaminated soils and catalysis. In earlier work, the group of Prof. Quina has shown that linear free energy relationships (LSER) are a powerful tool for correlating the efficiency of solubilization with the structure of the solute. In the present work, micellar incorporation coefficients, Ks, were determined for solubilization of a series of solute of diverse structures in two commercial detergents: decyl diphenyl oxide disulfonate (DOWFAX C10) and hexadecyl diphenyl oxide disulfonate (DOWFAX C16). For these detergents it is shown that the dependence of log Ks on solute molar volume is distinct for homologues series of polar (alcohols and ketones) and non-polar (alkanes, alkynes and aromatics) solutes, implying the existence of distinct solubilization microenvironments for these two classes of solutes. The demonstration in the present work that the LSER approach fails to correlate Ks data when more than one solubilization microenvironment is present reinforces the validity of previous studies with detergents of simpler structure where the assumption of a single solubilization microenvironment was found to be adequate.
