Abstract
The micellization of choline-based anionic surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) having lauroyl sarcosinate [Sar]-, dodecylsulfate [DS]-, and deoxycholate [Doc]- as counter-ions was investigated in an aqueous medium. Density functional theory (DFT) was employed to investigate the net interactional energy (Enet), extent of non-covalent interactions, and band gap of the choline-based SAILs. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) along with various parameters related to the surface adsorption, counter-ion binding (β), and polarity of the cores of the micelles were deduced employing surface tension measurements, conductometric titrations and fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively. A dynamic light scattering (DLS) system equipped with zeta-potential measurement set-up and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) were used to predict the size, zeta-potential, and morphology, respectively, of the formed micelles. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard Gibb's free energy and standard enthalpy change of micellization were calculated using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Upon comparing with sodium salt analogues, it was established that the micellization was predominantly governed by the extent of hydration of [Cho]+, the head groups of the respective anions, and the degree of counter-ion binding (β). Considering the concentration dependence of the enzyme-SAIL interactions, aqueous solutions of the synthesized SAILs at two different concentrations (below and above the cmc) were utilized as the medium for testing the enzymatic activity of cellulase. The activity of cellulase was found to be ∼7- to ∼13-fold higher compared to that observed in buffers in monomeric solutions of the SAILs and followed the order: [Cho][Sar] > [Cho][DS] > [Cho][Doc]. In the micellar solution, a ∼4- to 5-fold increase in enzymatic activity was observed.

Abstract
Three new cationic surfactants-N-cetyl-bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl)ether bromide (CBDEB), N-dodecyl-bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl)ether bromide (DBDEB), and N-hexyl-bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl)ether bromide (HBDEB)-have been designed herein using a simple and tailorable synthesis route. CBDEB and DBDEB, the 16- and 12-carbon chain surfactants, demonstrate facile, rapid, and controllable aqueous syntheses of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as dual-action reducing and capping agents. The synthesis strategy, using only surfactant and HAuCl4 salt, and 4 min of heating at 80 °C, results in spherical AuNPs (average diameters of 13.4 ± 3.8 nm for CBDEB and 12.0 ± 3.8 nm for DBDEB). Microwave irradiation was also investigated as a heating method and produces AuNPs in as little as 30 s. Control over the size and shape of AuNPs was proven to be feasible (toward populations of Euclidean shapes) by appropriately tuning reaction parameters, such as the molar ratio of surfactant to Au3+, temperature, incorporation of a time delay before heating, or shape control agents, such as Cu2+. Frustratingly, the cytotoxicity of CBDEB is similar to that of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a popular 16-carbon chain cationic surfactant. Notably, while the shorter HBDEB (6-carbon chain) does not produce AuNPs under the applied conditions, it does appear to improve cell viability upon cytotoxicity evaluation and may be favorable as a new biological surfactant.

Abstract
The aggregation behavior of the surface-active ionic liquid (SAIL), 3-(2-(hexadecyloxy)-2-oxoethyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride, [C16Emim][Cl], and a gemini surfactant (GS) (14-2-14) in the whole mole fraction range has been investigated in an aqueous medium employing various techniques. Experimentally obtained values of critical aggregation concentration (cac) are in good agreement with the theoretical cac values obtained using Clint's equation. Rubingh's model has been employed to evaluate the extent of synergistic interactions between two components, which has been found to be dependent upon the composition of a mixture of surfactants. The polarity index, hydrodynamic diameter (Dh), zeta potential (ζ-Pot.), and morphology of the aggregates have been found to be dependent upon the extent of hydrophobic as well as dipolar interactions and the degree of counterion binding governed by the content of the GS in mixed aggregates. Thermodynamic parameters evaluated employing isothermal titration calorimetry have revealed the aggregation as an entropy-driven process. Density functional theory calculations provide a detailed account of the SAIL-GS interactions at the molecular level. The reduced density gradient (RDG) along with the calculated isosurfaces asserts that the dominant interactions are noncovalent interactions. Furthermore, the enzymology of cytochrome-c in the aqueous SAIL-GS aggregated systems has been investigated and a two-fold increase in the enzyme activity has been observed in the aggregates formed by the GS as compared to that in buffer.

Abstract
The interfacial along with bulk characteristics of the aqueous solutions of ILs with dissimilar cationic head group viz. 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C12mim][Br]), and N-dodecyl-N-methylmorpholinium bromide ([Mor1,12][Br]) in the absence and the presence of an amino acid L-Methionine as an external additive have been examined by electrical conductivity, UV-Visible, surface tension, and DLS measurements. The CMC values, and the lowest maximum surface excess concentration (Гmax) achieved from all three techniques, and surface tension measurements respectively displayed more surface activity of the [C12mim][Br] than the [Mor1,12][Br]. Also, the morpholinium head group is less hazardous than imidazolium, it can be utilised to design ILs that are greener, mainly in combination with polar, small, and non-toxic side chains and anions.

Synthesis, Aggregation Behavior and Drug-binding Interactions of Fatty acid-imidazolium-based Surface-active Ionic Liquids. Chem Phys Lipids 2022; 243:105176.

Abstract
The renewable fatty acid-based surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) containing ethyl-substituted imidazolium head groups were prepared and structurally analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1HNMR and 13CNMR spectroscopy. The products were named as; 3-ethyl-1-(2-dodecanoyl oxy) ethylimidazolium bromide [C12Eeim]Br, 3-ethyl-1-(2-tetradecanoyl oxy) ethylimidazolium bromide [C14Eeim]Br and 3-ethyl-1-(2-hexadecanoyl oxy) ethylimidazolium bromide [C16Eeim]Br. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) values of the three SAILs have been evaluated using conductivity measurements, probe-less UV-visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The obtained cmc values were compared with the earlier reported non-functionalized SAILs such as [Cnmim]Br and [Cneim]Br where n= 12, 14, 16. The values were found to be 3 to 9 times lower mainly due to the presence of ester chain and also ethyl substituted imidazole ring. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated by conductivity data at three different temperatures. Further, the aggregation behavior of SAILs with anesthetic drug, lidocaine hydrochloride (LC) has been studied using fluorescence. The fluorescence and UV-visible studies showed strong synergistic interactions operating between SAILs and drug molecules involving H bonding and cation-π interactions. The interactions grew stronger with the elongation of SAIL-chain length (12C-16C). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements suggested the formation of vesicles in SAIL-LC mixtures. These studies may thus offer an effective candidate which would serve as vectors for drug molecules in terms of their enhanced solubilization, permeability and target-specific delivery.

Abstract
The co-delivery of anticancer drugs into tumor cells by a nanocarrier may provide a new paradigm in chemotherapy. Temozolomide and curcumin are anticancer drugs with a synergistic effect in the treatment of multiform glioblastoma. In this study, the entrapment and co-entrapment of temozolomide and curcumin in a p-sulfonato-calix[4]arene nanoparticle was investigated by NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrophotometry, isothermal titration calorimetry, and dynamic light scattering. Critical micellar concentration, nanoparticle size, zeta potential, drug loading percentage, and thermodynamic parameters were all consistent with a drug delivery system. Our data showed that temozolomide is hosted in the cavity of the calix[4]arene building blocks while curcumin is entrapped within the nanoparticle. Isothermal titration calorimetry evidenced that drug complexation and entrapment are entropy driven processes. The loading in the calixarene-based nanocontainer enhanced the solubility and half-life of both drugs, whose medicinal efficacy is affected by low solubility and rapid degradation. The calixarene-based nanocontainer appears to be a promising new candidate for nanocarrier-based drug combination therapy for glioblastoma.

Abstract
A ubiquitous example of DNA and proteins inspires the scientific community to design synthetic systems that can construct various self-assembled complex nano-objects for high-end physiological functions. To gain insight into judiciously designed artificial amphiphilic structures that through self-assembling form various morphological architectures within a single system, herein, we have studied self-aggregation of amide-functionalized surface-active ionic liquids (AFSAILs) with different head groups in the DMSO/water mixed system. The AFSAIL forms stimuli-responsive reversible micelle and vesicle configurations that coexist with three-dimensional (3D) network structures, the organogel in the DMSO/water mixed system. The self-assembly driving forces, self-organization patterns, network morphologies, and mechanical properties of these network structures have been investigated. With the proven biodegradability and biocompatibility, one can envisage these AFSAILs as the molecules with a new dimension of versatility.

Abstract
A number of techniques, including conductivity, surface tension, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and 1H-1H 2D nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (1H-1H 2D NOESY), have been used to investigate the effect of amide bonds on the interfacial and assembly properties of a cationic surfactant, N-anilinoformylmethyl-N-cetyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonium chloride (AMC-C 16 ), in aqueous solutions. The adsorption of AMC-C 16 has been found to be much better than that of the conventional cationic surfactant, benzyl cetyldimethylammonium chloride (BAC-16) at the air/water interface and in solution. The surface tension measurements show the presence of two critical aggregation concentrations (CAC1 and CAC2) for AMC-C 16 . The presence of a strong intermolecular hydrogen bond of AMC-C 16 was confirmed by 1H NMR and FT-TR. The molecular interactions of AMC-C 16 were detected by 1H-1H 2D NOESY. The results show that the rigid group (phenyl) of AMC-C 16 was partially overlapped with its alkyl chain in aqueous solution, and the possible aggregation behavior for AMC-C 16 was proposed. The effects of an inorganic salt (NaCl) and an organic salt (C6H5COONa) to the aggregates of AMC-C 16 have been discussed.

Abstract
Surface active ionic liquid (SAIL) induced hydrogelation, in the absence of additives, is important considering the properties of soft-hydrogels that can be utilized in different applications. The present study is concerned with the phase behavior and hydrogelation of a SAIL, 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium p-toluenesulfonate, [C16mim][PTS]. The obtained information about the phase behavior along with the surfactant like behavior of the SAIL was exploited for effective exfoliation of graphene-flakes from graphite in aqueous medium that remain stable for at least one month. Thus the obtained dispersion of graphene-flakes was subsequently hydrogelated exploiting the observations made from the phase behavior of the SAIL, via entanglement of long worm-like micelles of the SAIL formed at higher concentration. The obtained graphene-flake based hydrogels were found to be equally stable as compared to the blank hydrogel as well as against centrifugation. The low melting point of hydrogel facilitates the extraction of graphene-flakes from the hydrogel matrix by heating and diluting the gel and there is no sign of agglomeration in the extracted graphene-flakes even if the extraction is carried out after a period of three months. The present work is an exemplary study on exfoliation, hydrogelation and extraction of graphene-flakes from a hydrogel, when required, using a SAIL and is expected to provide a new platform for utilization of SAILs for efficient graphene exfoliation and subsequent preparation of functional materials.

Abstract
We compare the biophysical and structural aspects of the interaction of amphiphilic ionic liquids containing 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cation ([CnMIM]+, n = 8, 12, or 16) with membranes composed of zwitterionic 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) or anionic 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-glycerol (POPG). Liposome affinity and permeabilization were determined using ζ-potential and fluorescence studies, correlated with the cytoxicity of [CnMIM]+Br- toward HeLa cell lines. Membrane affinity is strongest in the case of [C16MIM]+Br- followed by [C12MIM]+Br- and [C8MIM]+Br- for both membranes, and trends remained the same in the case of membrane permeability and cytotoxicity. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy was used to localize [CnMIM]+ inside the lipid bilayers and to study their impact on the head group and acyl chain structures and dynamics of the lipid molecules. The charged ring moiety of the [CnMIM]+ is localized in the lipid-water interface of the membranes irrespective of the chain length and membrane surface charge. While [C8MIM]+ binds the membrane most weakly, it induces the largest disorder in the lipid chain region. A lack of fast flip-flop motions of the amphiphiles in the case of long chain [C16MIM]+ is suggested to render the membrane unstable, which increases its permeability. Between the lipid molecules, the POPC membrane incurs larger disorder in lipid chain packing upon insertion of [CnMIM]+ molecules. The study provides structural details of the impact of increasing chain lengths in [CnMIM]+ on the structural properties of lipid bilayers.

Abstract
To achieve highly conductive and stable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for fuel cells, novel triblock copolymer AEMs bearing flexible side chain were synthesized. The triblock structure and flexible side chain are responsible for the developed hydrophilic/hydrophobic phase separated morphology and well-connected ion conducting channels, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. As a result, the triblock copolymer AEMs with flexible side chain (ABA-TQA- x) demonstrated considerably higher conductivities, up to 130.5 mS cm-1 at 80 °C, than the AEMs with monocation side chain (ABA-MQA). Furthermore, the long alkyl spacer between the backbone and quaternary ammonium groups, as well as long intercation spacer limits the water swelling of the membranes to some degree, resulting in good alkaline stability. The ABA-TQA-44 membrane retained 84.7% and 83.1% of its original conductivity and ionic exchange capacity, respectively, after immersed in a 1 M aqueous KOH solution at 80 °C for 480 h. Furthermore, the peak power density of a H2/O2 single cell using ABA-TQA-44 is 204.6 mW cm-2 at a current density of 500 mA cm-2 at 80 °C.

Abstract
The formation of ultra-thin 2D crystalline nano-sheets, -spindles and -ribbons by self-assembly of benzimidazolium-based single-tailed surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) is observed for the first time. The nature of formed bilayer architectures is governed by the functionalization of alkyl chains of SAILs via an amide or ester moiety.

Abstract
The micellar solution and the lyotropic liquid crystalline phases formed by gemini surfactants containing morpholinium headgroups are investigated for their self-aggregation and physicochemical properties in water. These gemini surfactants demonstrated good surface activity because they are able to undergo micellization at lower concentration and form nanosized micellar aggregates in dilute aqueous solution. The binary mixture of the morpholinium gemini surfactant-water system is investigated over a wide range of concentrations. The micellar solution of the morpholinium gemini surfactants demonstrated Newtonian fluidlike behavior between 10 and 50 wt % as the observed viscosities were independent of the applied shear rate. At higher concentration, morpholinium geminis formed self-assembled lyotropic phases in water. These liquid crystalline phases were characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering and polarized optical microscopy techniques.

Abstract
Here, we present how replacing the usual inorganic counter ion with a pharmaceutically active aromatic one can greatly affect the interfacial as well as bulk properties of ionic liquids (ILs). We have synthesized a series of novel drug-based ILs, namely, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium diclofenate ([C n mim][DF]; n = 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14) abbreviated as DF-ILs, wherein DF- is a well-recognized analgesic and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. We show strong synergistic interactions between C n mim+ and aromatic DF- attributed to reduced electrostatic repulsions and increased hydrophobicity from their incorporation, reflecting a 300-fold smaller critical aggregation concentration than that of their Cl- analogue [C n mim][Cl]. Interfacial properties for such strongly associating systems are discussed and clearly established to have remarkably improved properties than those of their Cl- analogues. The decreasing polarity of the cybotactic region of pyrene with increase in the chain length "n" indicates an increased extent of packing of cationic head groups in the Stern layer. DF- ion seems to play a vital role in the formation of the resulting aggregates, as probed by small angle neutron scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The thermodynamical insights of the aggregation process have been studied using isothermal titration calorimetry and temperature-dependent conductivity experiments. Unilamellar vesicles are formed at extremely low concentration, and also it is the first report that puts into picture the formation of vesicles for [C6mim][DF] with such a short chain.

Abstract
Imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) containing cleavable carbonate linkages, 1-alkyloxycarbonyloxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium chlorides with alkyl chains of 10, 12, and 14 carbon atoms, were synthesized, and their self-assembly behavior and antimicrobial activity were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy studies reveal that carbonate-functionalized ILs form stable thermotropic smectic liquid-crystalline phases over a wide range of temperature. The surface activity and aggregation behavior of these new ILs were investigated by tensiometry, conductometry, potentiometry, and spectrofluorimetry. The size of aggregates was examined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Carbonate-functionalized ILs display a higher adsorption efficiency and a lower critical micelle concentration (cmc) than simple alkyl-chain-substituted ILs. The insertion of a carbonate ester moiety in the alkyl side chain favors adsorption at the air-water interface and micellization in the bulk solution when compared to nonfunctionalized ILs. DLS measurements show that small micellelike aggregates are spontaneously formed above the cmc. Furthermore, carbonate-functionalized ILs were examined for their antimicrobial activity against a panel of clinically relevant microorganisms. Biological activity was found to increase with hydrophobicity. The presence of a carbonate ester moiety significantly enhances the antimicrobial efficiency as compared to nonfunctionalized ILs, with the susceptibility of Staphylococcus sp. toward the action of these compounds being particularly remarkable. It has been demonstrated that the functionalization of the alkyl side chain of the imidazolium salts can not only modify the aggregation behavior but also lead to differences in both efficiency and the spectrum of antimicrobial activity of amphiphilic ILs.

[PMID: 28236691 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2017.02.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2016] [Revised: 02/09/2017] [Accepted: 02/09/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
New ester-functionalized surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) based on nicotine, [CnENic][Br] (n=8, 10 and 12), with bromide counterions have been synthesized, characterized and investigated for their self-assembly behavior in aqueous medium. Conductivity measurements in aqueous solutions of the investigated SAILs have provided information about their critical micelle concentration (cmc), and degree of counterion binding (β), where cmc was found to be 2-3-fold lower than homologous SAILs or conventional cationic surfactants. The inherent fluorescence of SAILs in the absence of any external fluorescent probe have shed light on cmc as well as interactions prevailing between the monomers in micelle at molecular level. The thermodynamic parameters related to micellization have been deduced from isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and conductivity measurements. 1H NMR, spin-lattice (T1) relaxation time and 2D 1H-IH ROESY measurements have been exploited to get detailed account of internal structure of micelle. The size and shape of the micelles have been explored using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. The synthesized SAILs have been found to be non-cytotoxic towards C6-Glioma cell line, which adds to the possible utility of these SAILs for diverse biological applications.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to study the interactions between flavonoids and surfactants with attention of finding the probable location of flavonoids in micellar media that can be used for controlling their antioxidant behavior. In present study, the micellar and interfacial behavior of twin tailed anionic surfactants viz. sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate (NaDEHP) in the presence of two flavonoids, namely quercetin (QUE) and kaempferol (KFL) have been studied by surface tension measurements. UV-visible, fluorescence and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) measurements have been employed to predict the probable location of flavonoids (QUE/KFL) within surfactant (AOT/NaDEHP) aggregates. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements further confirmed the solubilization of QUE/KFL in AOT/NaDEHP aggregates deduced from increased hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) of aggregates in the presence of flavonoids. Both radical scavenging activity (RSA) and degradation rate constant (k) of flavonoids are found to be higher in NaDEHP micelles as compared to AOT micelles.

Abstract
A series of imidazolium-based surface-active ionic liquids (IM-SAILs), viz., single-chained IM-SAILs, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([Cnmim]Br, n = 12, 14, 16), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium salicylate ([C12mim]Sal), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate ([C12mim]HNC), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium cinnamate ([C12mim]CA), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium para-hydroxy-cinnamate ([C12mim]PCA), gemini IM-SAIL, and 1,2-bis(3-dodecylimidazolium-1-yl)ethane bromide ([C12-2-C12im]Br2), along with three short-chained ionic liquids (ILs) [ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), propylammonium nitrate (PAN), and butylammonium nitrate (BAN)] were synthesized and applied to nematic liquid crystal (LC)/fluid interfaces. First, we evaluated the influence of the length and number of aliphatic chains as well as the counterion in the IM-SAIL structures on the anchoring of LCs at the aqueous/LC interface. It was observed that the threshold concentration of [Cnmim]Br (n = 12, 14, 16) decreased with the increase in aliphatic chain length. And double-chained [C12-2-C12im]Br2 has a far lower threshold concentration than single-chained [C12mim]Br. But the alteration of counterions (e.g., Br- and aromatic counterions) scarcely affected the anchoring of LCs at the interface. Second, we investigated the alignment of LCs at the diverse IL/LC interfaces in the presence of IM-SAILs. It is found that the variations in both aliphatic chain length and number can remarkably change the trigger points of the orientational transition of LCs at the EAN/LC interface. Specifically, with a slight increase in the alkyl chain length of short-chained ILs, as the fluid medium, the orientation of LCs varied tremendously at the IL/LC interface. Therefore, the higher threshold concentration of IM-SAILs and the corresponding greater stability in the optical appearance of LCs at the EAN/LC interface compared to that of the aqueous/LC interface can be ascribed to the discrepancy in the microstructure of water and IL. Finally, we verified that the volume ratio of H2O to EAN could more dramatically affect the alignment of LCs than the change in IM-SAIL concentration in aqueous solution. This work first illustrated the impact of SAIL structure on the LCs orientation at the aqueous/LC, IL/LC, and H2O-IL mixture/LC interfaces, which will inspire us to obtain a stabilized molecular alignment of LCs at the IL/LC interfaces and to further design novel functionalized SAIL molecules for various chemical and biological applications.

Abstract
Abstract
The micelle formation of N-alkyl-N-methylmorpholinium bromide (CnMMB, n = 12, 14, 16) surfactants in aqueous solution has been investigated. Their critical micelle concentration (CMC), effectiveness and efficiency of the surface tension reduction, and the maximum surface excess concentration were derived from the surface tension curves. Thermodynamic parameters were then evaluated in the temperature range of 25 °C ∼ 45 °C. The results showed that with increasing the alkyl chain length, the CMC values were decreased gradually, which is consistent with the enhancement of hydrophobic effect. Due to the existence of an oxygen atom in the headgroup, an unusual surface activity of CnMMB surfactants was obtained. The obtained results should help to better understand the effect of the hydrophilic headgroup on the micelle behavior of cationic surfactants containing saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
