  • A gradient-corrected density functional study of structure, harmonic vibrational frequencies and charge distribution of Benzenesulfonate anion on the ground-state potential energy surface
    Journal of Molecular Structure, 2000
    Co-Authors: Lj Pejov, Mirjana Ristova, B. Šoptrajanov
    Abstract:

    Abstract A density functional study of the structure, harmonic vibrational force field, and charge distribution of Benzenesulfonate anion combined with a solid-state FT-IR study of sodium Benzenesulfonate is presented. Two combinations of exchange/correlation functionals (BLYP and B3LYP) were employed within the quantum chemical approach, using the standard double-zeta quality 6-31+G(d) basis set for orbital expansion. The DFT predicted structure of the studied species is in a very good agreement with the available crystallographic data ( significantly better in comparison with our previous HF SCF results for Benzenesulfonate and 4-methylBenzenesulfonate anions). Both the B3LYP and BLYP/6-31+G(d) vibrational analyses of the Benzenesulfonate anion confirmed our previously proposed reassignments of several vibrational bands of this system based on the HF SCF/6-31+G(d) vibrational force field. The B3LYP predicted vibrational frequencies are superior to the BLYP ones. The Mulliken population analysis predicts a strong anionic charge delocalization over the phenyl ring (−0.54 and −0.56 e , B3LYP and BLYP levels correspondingly), whereas according to the electrostatic potential derived schemes, it is mainly localized within the SO 3 group. The latter result seems to be more in line both with the observed hydrogen bonding in the solid crystalline hydrates and with chemical intuition.

  • Ab initio quantum chemical and experimental study of structure, harmonic vibrational frequencies and internal Ph–SO 3 torsion of Benzenesulfonate anion
    Journal of Molecular Structure, 2000
    Co-Authors: Lj Pejov, Mirjana Ristova, Z Zdravkovski, B. Šoptrajanov
    Abstract:

    Abstract A combined quantum chemical and experimental study of the structure, harmonic vibrational frequencies, charge distribution and internal torsional motion of Benzenesulfonate anion was performed. The geometry of the anion was optimized at the HF/3-21+G(d) and HF/6-31+G(d) levels of theory, followed by numerical harmonic vibrational analysis. Furthermore, the FT-IR spectra of several metal Benzenesulfonate salts were recorded. The computed structural parameters of the anion at both levels of theory are in very good agreement with the X-ray data. Regarding the vibrational analysis, the HF/6-31+G(d) force field is significantly superior over the HF/3-21+G(d). On the basis of the HF/6-31+G(d) vibrational analysis, several important reassignments of the IR bands owing to the Benzenesulfonate anion are suggested. The larger basis set methodology gives the correct order of conformational stabilities (staggered vs. eclipsed anion conformation), while the lower basis reproduces the experimental data only upon inclusion of the zero-point energy corrections. On the basis of ab initio HF/6-31+G(d) energetics, the torsional energy levels of the Ph–SO 3 rotor were computed within a one-dimensional approach, diagonalizing the torsion Hamiltonian in the free-rotor basis. Both the Mulliken and the NPA charge-partitioning schemes predict a strong delocalization of the anionic charge over the phenyl ring, while the electrostatic potential based schemes (CHelp, CHelpG and MK) predict only a slight delocalization.

  • micellization in binary biosurfactant synthetic surfactant systems effects of temperature and hydrophobic group structure of alkyl Benzenesulfonate
    Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2018
    Co-Authors: Lingling Kong, Hong-ze Gang, Charl J. Jafta, Zijun Wang, Dan Fei
    Abstract:

    Abstract Micellization mechanism of biosurfactant/synthetic surfactant systems is essential in predicting their industrial applications. Biosurfactant, [Glu1,Asp5]-C15 surfactin, mixing with three isomers of sodium cetyl Benzenesulfonate (SCBS) with Benzenesulfonate attached at the 2nd, 5th, 8th carbon on the alkyl chain (abbreviated as 2-SCBS, 5-SCBS, and 8-SCBS), constituted the binary biosurfactant/synthetic surfactant systems in this work. Effects of mixing ratios, temperature, and hydrophobic structures of SCBS on micellization process were investigated by surface tensiometry, steady state fluorescence measurements, dynamic light scattering, and small angle neutron scattering. The results showed that at 60 ℃ synergism in micellization occurred in surfactin/2-SCBS and surfactin/5-SCBS binary systems, while antagonism appeared in surfactin/8-SCBS binary systems. Molecular interaction in mixed micelle at 60 ℃ turned from strong attractive to strong repulsive with the Benzenesulfonate moving from the end to the middle of the alkyl chain. Surfactin exhibited weak interaction with both 5-SCBS and 8-SCBS at 25 ℃. Mixed surfactin/2-SCBS micelles were formed in spherical cylinders with more hydrophobic core and within 66 A. Mixed surfactin/5-SCBS micelles and mixed surfactin/8-SCBS micelles showed similar morphology evolutions at 25 ℃, long elliptical cylinders transformed into small spherical cylinder by reducing both length and radius ratio of cross section with increasing surfactin mole fraction.
