摘要

UV–Vis and FT-IR spectroscopic methods, along with dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements, were used to investigate the binding of p-nitroaniline (p-NA) in diethyl sulfoxide (DESO) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-containing AOT reverse micelles in n-heptane at varying molar ratios of polar solvent to AOT. Both DESO (or DMSO) and DESO (or DMSO) + water mixtures were used as polar solvents. The binding constant (Kb) between p-NA and AOT was calculated for the aforementioned reverse micelles. Variations in the Kb values were interpreted in terms of competitive molecular interactions, taking into account the hydrogen-bond donor ability of p-NA, solvation of counter ion Na+ by DESO (or DMSO), the self-associative structure of sulfoxides, and their hydrogen-bonding interactions with water. FT-IR spectra indicate that DMSO or DESO encapsulated within the reverse micelles does not interact with either the C=O or the SO3 groups of AOT. Notably, significant solvation of the Na+ counterion by DMSO results in its displacement from the AOT surface, contributing to an increase in Kb value. DLS measurements confirm that molecular interactions have a significant impact on the size of the reverse micelles.
