Effects of Long-chain Molecules on the Population and Orientation of Organic Molecules at the Air/Water Interface
The effects of pentaand hexadecanoic acids on the population and orientational structure of p-nitrophenol, at the airlwater interface at a bulk pH of 2, have been studied by using the technique of second-harmonic generation. The results indicate that, with increasing fatty acid at the interface, (1) the population of p-nitrophenol at the airlwater interface first increases and then decreases, (...
متن کاملOrientation of Methylguanidinium Ions at the Water–Air Interface
We use heterodyne-detected vibrational sum-frequency generation (HD-VSFG) to determine the orientation of the molecular plane of methylguanidinium ions at the surface of aqueous solutions. We measure the VSFG response of the symmetric and antisymmetric methyl stretch vibrations of the methylguanidinium ion with different polarization combinations. We find that for at least 50% of the methylguan...
متن کاملSelf-organization of discogenic molecules at the air-water interface
The behavior of several species of discogenic molecules at the air-water interface has been determined by measuring surface pressure vs. molecular area isotherms. Alkylthiotriphenylene derivatives do not appear to form monolayers at the interfaces, due to lack of amphiphilic character. Two truxene derivatives were found to display molecular areas on the order of 65 A2, most likely due to the mo...
متن کاملSurfactant headgroup orientation at the air/water interface.
We have used vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy to provide the first measurement of the spectrum and orientation of the polar headgroup of a charged alkyl surfactant at the air/water interface. Sum-frequency spectra of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are used to arrive at all participating elements of the second-order susceptibility tensor. We use these chi(2) elements, together with calculate...
متن کاملThe orientation and charge of water at the hydrophobic oil droplet-water interface.
We established the charge and structure of the oil/water interface by combining ζ-potential measurements, sum frequency scattering (SFS) and molecular dynamics simulations. The SFS experiments show that the orientation of water molecules can be followed on the oil droplet/water interface. The average water orientation on a neat oil droplet/water interface is the same as the water orientation on...
