An NMR Investigation of Fast Proton Transfer along the Surface of Cationic Micelles

CMCs and proton exchange rates of cationic micelles are shown to increase linearly with 1/[H+]. Enhanced proton transfers in micelles (see picture) are assigned to two major factors: a pH elevation of ca. 2 units around the micellar surface and a diffusion‐like proton switch from polar head to polar...

Zusammenfassung:CMCs and proton exchange rates of cationic micelles are shown to increase linearly with 1/[H+]. Enhanced proton transfers in micelles (see picture) are assigned to two major factors: a pH elevation of ca. 2 units around the micellar surface and a diffusion‐like proton switch from polar head to polar head. Rate enhancements are larger when the number of methylenic carbons in the surfactants used is increased from 8 to 10.
