Structural characterization of frozen n-heptane solutions of metal-containing reverse micelles

The microstructure of temperature-quenched solutions of reverse micelles formed by sodium, cobalt, ytterbium, and cobalt/ytterbium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate in n-heptane has been investigated by SAXS and EXAFS. Some changes in the X-ray absorption spectra with respect to the same systems at ro...

520 |a The microstructure of temperature-quenched solutions of reverse micelles formed by sodium, cobalt, ytterbium, and cobalt/ytterbium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate in n-heptane has been investigated by SAXS and EXAFS. Some changes in the X-ray absorption spectra with respect to the same systems at room temperature have been observed. The analysis of the SAXS spectra leads to the hypothesis that at 77 K the closed spherical structure of reverse micelles is retained and that during the temperature quench they undergo a clustering process involving the transition from a quite random dispersion to the formation of more or less large clusters of strongly packed reverse micelles. This behavior is attributed to competitive effects caused by the temperature decrease. The prevalence of intermicellar attractive interactions with respect to Brownian motions leading to a collapse to more compact structure is in competition with the rapid decrease of reverse micelle diffusion rate involving a freezing of the local structures. In the case of cobalt, ytterbium, and cobalt/ytterbium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate reverse micelles, further information from EXAFS measurements indicates that within the reverse micelle core exists a quite ordered nanosized domain composed of water, surfactant counterions, and oxygen atoms of the SO3- head groups. The conservation of local order and inverse structure during the clustering phenomenon that results from the fast freezing with liquid nitrogen of solutions of reverse micelles could have biological implications, i.e., the preservation of tissue samples at cryogenic temperatures
