Abstract

The developed work focused the study of the solvation of binary mixtures among water and ionic liquids, ILs. Highlighting the influence of the lipophilicity and structure of the ILs. Moreover, it was studied a new series of surface active ionic liquids, SAILs, and the properties of these SAILs in water, was studied using many experimental techniques. The ILs study started with the synthesis, purification and characterization of the 1-allil-3-alkylimidazolium chlorides, and after, it was studied the solvation of the aqueous binary mixtures. In this study, they were utilized solvatochromic probes, these substances are sensitive to the medium properties, and can be analyzed using the Uv-Vis spectroscopy. In order to explain the obtained results, it was applied a solvation model, developed by the research group. This model describes the solvation considering the presence of the two solvents and a &#8220:complex” water-IL. The solvatochromic study was utilized three probes, MePMBr2, OcPMBr2 e MeQMBr2 and three ILs, AlMeImCl, AlBuImCl e AlHxImCl. The results showed the importance of probe-LI interaction, for example, hydrogen bond, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions; that influences the solvation of the probe. The SAILs studied series, was the 1-methyl-3(3-acylaminopropyl) imidazolium chloride, this series was synthesized, purified and characterized. The properties of the surfactants aqueous solutions were investigate with conductance, surface tension, light scattering and solvatochromism. The values of critical micelle concentration, cmc, and Gibbs free energy, ΔGmic, was obtained with the first three techniques, and these results were compared with the series 1-methyl-3-alkylimidozolium chlorides. The results showed that the presence of the amide functional group support the micellization process. In the solvatochromic study of micellar solutions, they were utilized the probes WB, 4-nitroanisole, 4-nitroaniline e N,N-dimethyl-4-nitroaniline. Using these probes, it was possible to determine the acidity, α, basicity, β, polarizability, π* and interfacial water concentration, [water]interfacial. It was observed, that α, β and [water]interfacial decreased with the increase of the hydrophobic chain of the surfactant. (AU)
