Magnetization transfer in lamellar liquid crystals.

چکیده
PURPOSE This study examines the relationship between quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) parameters and the molecular composition of a model lamellar liquid crystal (LLC) system composed of 1-decyl alcohol (decanol), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and water. METHODS Samples were made within a stable lamellar mesophase to provide different ratios of total semisolid protons (SDS + decanol) to water protons. Data were collected as a function of radiofrequency power, frequency offset, and temperature. qMT parameters were estimated by fitting a standard model to the data. Fitting results of four different semisolid line shapes were compared. RESULTS A super-Lorentzian line shape for the semisolid component provided the best fit. The estimated amount of semisolids was proportional to the ratio of decanol-to-water protons. Other qMT parameters exhibited nonlinear dependence on sample composition. Magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) was a linear function of the semisolid fraction over a limited range of decanol concentration. CONCLUSION In LLC samples, MT between semisolid and water originates from intramolecular nOe among decanol aliphatic chain protons followed by proton exchange between decanol hydroxyl and water. Exchange kinetics is influenced by SDS, although SDS protons do not participate in MT. These studies provide clinically relevant range of semisolid fraction proportional to detected MTR.

Luminescent materials from europium β-diketonate complex in ionic liquids (ILs) could achieve enhanced luminescence efficiencies and photostabilities. However, the question of how to provide a feasible and environmentally-friendly way to distribute these lanthanide complexes uniformly and stably within IL-based matrix remains a significant challenge. Here, a soft luminescent material from IL-me...
متن کاملFirst observation of rich lamellar structures formed by a single-tailed amphiphilic ionic liquid in aqueous solutions.
It was found for the first time that rich lamellar structures are formed by a single-tailed amphiphilic ionic liquid (IL), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium β-naphthalene sulfonate ([C12mim][Nsa]), in aqueous solutions without any additives. With increasing IL concentration, spontaneous transition from micelles to unilamellar and multilamellar vesicles, planar bilayers, and then to lamellar liquid ...
متن کاملThickness-dependent SERS activities of gold nanosheets controllably synthesized via photochemical reduction in lamellar liquid crystals.
Gold nanosheets (AuNSs) with well-tuned thicknesses were synthesized by a facile photochemical reduction method in lamellar liquid crystals. It is found that ∼50 nm thick AuNSs present much stronger surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect than that of AuNSs with thicknesses of ∼8 nm and 100 nm.
متن کاملSpherulite phase induction from positive Gaussian curvature in lyotropic lamellar liquid crystals
The equilibrium properties of spherulite assemblies in lyotropic lamellar phases are studied within both elastic and statistical models. Following previous models, the spherulites are assumed to be stabilized by their positive Gaussian curvature. Our model predicts that the spherulites should adopt a regular crystalline piling if their core energy E~ is much larger than k~ T, or a liquid-like p...

Growth of CdS was studied in three different liquid crystalline phases demonstrating the versatility of liquid crystal templating of inorganic solids. Semiconductor growth in a hexagonal liquid crystal yielded a nanostructure with hexagonal symmetry, a lamellar liquid crystal yielded a lamellar nanostructure, and a cubic liquid crystal (consisting of spherical micelles) yielded a hollow, spheri...
