Abstract
Densities and heat capacities of water-substrate and water-substrate-cyclod extrin mixtures were determined at 298 K. The substrates studied are sodium n-perfluoroalkanoates, (CF)(n)COONa, (from sodium perfluoroacetate to sodi um perfluorooctanoate) and the cyclodextrins are hydroxypropyl-alpha-cyclod extrin (HP-alpha-CD), hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD), and hyd roxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin (HP-gamma-CD). From experimental data of (CF) (n)COONa in water, the standard partial molar properties were determined. M oreover, the properties of micellization of the surfactants were determined . HP-beta-CD hardly affects the thermodynamic properties of CF3COONa while it strongly does those of the other substrates. From the experimental data the standard partial molar properties of the inclusion complex were calcula ted and compared to those of the sodium n-alkanoates + HP-beta-CD we report ed elsewhere (Langmuir 1998, 14, 6045). The larger hydrophobicity of the CF 2 group with respect to the CH2 one is reflected in the properties of the i nclusion complex. Studies extended to HP-alpha-CD and HP-gamma-CD indicate that the size cavity of the cyclodextrin influences the thermodynamics of t he inclusion complex formation more than that for the hydrogenated substrat es. The presence of cyclodextrin affects the property of the surfactant in the aqueous phase while it scarcely does that in the micellar phase.
