Complexes of 1-alkyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromides with lanthanum nitrate. Micelle-forming and adsorption properties

Abstract

Novel organometallic surfactants were synthesized from monoquaternized 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]-octanes of varied hydrophobicity [Alk = C_nH_2n+1, n = 14, 18] and lanthanum nitrates. The spectral, micelleforming, and adsorption properties of the synthesized compounds were studied by IR, ¹Н NMR and electronic spectroscopy, tensiometry, conductometry, and potentiometry. The critical micelle concentrations, counterionic micellar binding constants, and adsorption parameters at the water–air interface were determined and compared with the respective characteristics of the ligands and conventional amphiphiles.
