Gemini Surfactants with Acetylenic Spacers
Abstract
A total of 24 dicationic geminis surfactants were synthesized, having a 2-butynyl spacer and chain lengths varying from 8 to 18 carbons. Geminis with more flexible butyl spacers were also synthesized for comparison purposes. Tensiometry gave critical micelle concentration (cmc) values, surface activity, and Gibbs areas. Film studies on the C 18 geminis gave liftoff and collapse areas. The acetylenic geminis behave normally with the log cmc values decreasing linearly with chain length for all the dibromide salts. Anomalous behavior occurred, however, with the C 18 gemini having a butyl spacer. It was found that cmc data correlate with spacer area, a relationship ascribed to packing constraints on curved surfaces and, possibly, to steric inhibition of ion binding. The effects are accentuated with the C 18 surfactants. Geminis with heterocyclic headgroups were examined.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
