Interactions of a fluoroaryl surfactant with hydrogenated, partially fluorinated, and perfluorinated surfactants at the air/water interface
A novel surfactant containing pentafluorophenyl moiety attached at the terminal position of undecanol (11,11-difluoro-11-(pentafluorophenyl)undecan-1-ol, abbr. PBD) was synthesized and employed for the Langmuir monolayer characterization and miscibility studies with a semifluorinated alkane (perfluo...

| Zusammenfassung: | A novel surfactant containing pentafluorophenyl moiety attached at the terminal position of undecanol (11,11-difluoro-11-(pentafluorophenyl)undecan-1-ol, abbr. PBD) was synthesized and employed for the Langmuir monolayer characterization and miscibility studies with a semifluorinated alkane (perfluorodecyleicosane, abbr. F10H20) and four alcohols differing in the degree of fluorination in their hydrophobic chains: octadecanol (C18OH), perfluorooctyldecanol (F8H10OH), perfluoroisononyldecanol (iF9H10OH) and 1H,1H-perfluorooctadecanol (F18OH). Pure monolayers of all of the investigated surfactants as well as their mixtures were investigated with surface pressure-area isotherms complemented by Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) images. PBD was found to form stable Langmuir monolayers of liquid-expanded character. Characteristic dendritic structures were formed at the very early stage of compression and remained up to the vicinity of collapse, where 3D crystallites appeared. 2D miscibility studies revealed that PBD forms mixed monolayers with the investigated semifluorinated alkane (F10H20) as well as with perfluorinated alcohol (F18OH) within the whole composition range, do not mix with octadecanol to the fully hydrogenated alcohol, whereas it is partially miscible (up to a certain surface pressure value) with the studied semifluorinated alcohols. The analysis of the miscibility derived from the surface pressure-area isotherms (collapse pressure vs composition dependencies) agrees well with BAM images. Molecular interactions in the investigated systems have been quantified with interaction parameter, alpha |
