Effects of Cation, Anion, and Substrate

Despite the fact that Cu+ is better than Ag+ in 7r-complexation, sorbents with Cu+ are difficult to prepare due to the fact that its simple salts are not 

Energy of Adsorption (in kcal/mol) for MCI-C2H4 and MC1-CO Systems (M = Ag or Cu) (Huang, Padin, and Yang, 1999a) 

The effects of substrates on 7r-complexation were studied by olefin adsorption on monolayer AgN03 supported on various substrates (Padin and Yang, 2000). The substrates selected were y-Al203, Si02, and MCM-41. The following trend for olefin adsorption was observed for these substrates  

The silica surface (on both silica gel and MCM-41) provides a better substrate due to the lack of Lewis acid sites (unlike y-Al203), and consequently the Ag atoms in these sorbents are more capable of forming jr-complexation bonds with olefins. Although the effect of the physical characteristics of a substrate such as surface area and pore size would have on adsorption is clear, the effect of the electronic properties needs to be studied further.

A quantitative assessment of the effects of head group bulk on, S k2 and E2 reactions in cationic micelles has been made.148 The kinetics of the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of methyl acetate in the presence of cationic, anionic, and non-ionic surfactants has been reported on.149 The alkaline hydrolysis of -butyl acetate with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide has also been investigated.150 The alkaline hydrolysis of aromatic and aliphatic ethyl esters in anionic and non-ionic surfactants has been studied.151 Specific salting-in effects that lead to striking substrate selectivity were observed for the hydrolysis of /j-nitrophenyl alkanoates (185 n = 2-16) catalysed by the 4-(dialkylamino)pyridine-fimctionalized polymer (186) in aqueous Tris buffer solution at pH 8 and 30 °C. The formation of a reactive catalyst-substrate complex, (185)-(186), seems to be promoted by the presence of tris(hydroxymethyl)methylammonium ion.152... 

PT catalysts commonly used are quaternary onium salts (ammonium and phospho-nium), crown ethers, cryptands, and polyethylene glycols. The essential characteristics of a PT catalyst are that the catalyst must have the ability to transfer the reactive anion into the organic phase to conduct the nucleophilic attack on the organic substrate, and effect a cation-anion bonding loose enough to allow a high reaction rate in the organic phase. 

The equation does not take into account such pertubation factors as steric effects, solvent effects, and ion-pair formation. These factors, however, may be neglected when experiments are carried out in the same solvent at the same temperature and concentration for an homogeneous set of substrates. So, for a given ambident nucleophile the rate ratio kj/kj will depend on A and B, which vary with (a) the attacked electrophilic center, (b) the solvent, and (c) the counterpart cationic species of the anion. The important point in this kind of study is to change only one parameter at a time. This simple rule has not always been followed, and little systematic work has been done in this field (12) stiH widely open after the discovery of the role played by single electron transfer mechanism in ambident reactivity (1689). 

Another useful, and quite sensitive, test is the initiation of polymerisation (c/ p. 320). Polymerisation can be initiated, in suitable substrates, by cations and anions as well as by radicals, but the effect of these several species can be differentiated by using a 50/50 mixture of phenylethene (styrene), PhCH=CH2, and methyl 2-methyl-propenoate (methyl methacrylate), CH2=C(Me)C02Me, as substrate cationic initiators are found to produce polystyrene only, anions polymethyl methacrylate only, while radicals produce a copolymer containing equal amounts of the two monomers. 

It has been claimed that complexes of P-cyclodextrin with anionic surfactants, notably higher fatty alcohol ethoxylates, improve scouring efficiency on cotton and wool in laboratory-scale processing [34]. Residual surfactants carried over from preparation can have undesirable effects in subsequent processing. When cyclodextrins complex with surfactants, their surface activity is reduced. Hence cyclodextrins are potentially useful for the removal of residual amounts of surfactants from substrates [35]. The use of a- and P-cyclodextrins has been studied in this context with one cationic, one anionic and four... 

Surfactants, not surprisingly, exert a highly significant influence on the fluorescence of FBAs in solution. This effect is associated with the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant and may be regarded as a special type of solvent effect. Anionic surfactants have almost no influence on the performance of anionic FBAs on cotton, but nonionic surfactants may exert either positive or negative effects on the whiteness of the treated substrate [33]. Cationic surfactants would be expected to have a negative influence, but this is not always so [34]. No general rule can be formulated and each case has to be considered separately.
