The enthalpies of solution of the cyclic ethers 1,4-dioxane, 12-crown-4 and 18-crown-6 in mixtures of ethanol and water have been measured within the whole mole fraction range at T = 298.15 K. The enthalpy of solvation has been calculated. In pure ethanol and pure water, the solvation enthalpy of the investigated cyclic ethers depends linearity on the number of -CH2CH2- groups in the cyclic eth...

We explored the time-dependent Stokes shifts of fluorescent dyes containing an anthroyloxy chromophore (2-AS, 9-AS, and 16-AP) in bilayers composed of palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine. The obtained data revealed a nontrivial solvation response of these dyes, which are located in the backbone region of the bilayer with a gradually increasing depth. For comparison, steady-state emission spect...

We have analyzed the equilibrium response of chain molecules to stretching. For a homogeneous sequence of monomers, the induced transition from compact globule to extended coil below the θ-temperature is predicted to be sharp. For random sequences, however, the transition may be smoothed by a prevalence of necklace-like structures, in which globular regions and coil regions coexist in a single ...

The effect of urea on biomimetic aggregates (aqueous and reversed micelles, vesicles and monolayers) was investigated to obtain insights into the effect of the denaturant on structured macromolecules. Direct evidence obtained from light scattering (static and dynamic), monolayer maximum isothermal compression and ionic conductivity measurements, together with indirect evidence from fluorescence...

Abstract Equilibrium solubility of triclocarban (TCC) expressed in mole fraction 1,4-dioxane and cyclohexane, as well, 19 {cyclohexane (1) + (2)} mixtures, was determined at seven temperatures from T = (288.15 to 318.15) K. Logarithmic TCC these cosolvent mixtures adequately correlated with a lineal bivariate equation function both the composition temperature. Apparent thermodynamic quantities ...
