Studies on phase structures of N,N-dimethyl-n-dodecyl amine/inorganic oxyacid system

The phase structures of N, N-dimethyl-n-dodecyl-amine/inorganic acid system s have been investigated by the methods of the pseudo ternary phase diagram s, conductance, polarizing microscope, UV-Vis spectra and FTIR spectra. The results can be expressed as follows: (1) With the increase of water phase content, the amine salt aggregated orderly in different forms such as W/O m icro-emulsion, nodus-knot catenulate aggregates, layer liquid crystal and O /W micro-emulsion. (2) In layer liquid crystal, SO42- mainly combined with amine salt cation by two oxygen atoms in bridge. (3) In UV-Vis spectrum of layer L. C., there is an absorption about 500 nm and "light short circuit" appeared at about 430 nm. These phenomena may be very important for measuri ng the distance between the layers of the L. C..
