Abstract:
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Here we present the supramolecular surfactant-macrocycle system which properties are independent on system composition in the wide range of components concentrations. The study of the interaction of octacarboxy-tetra(p-phenylene-oxy-pentyl)calixresorcinarene (C5R) and cetylpyridinuim chloride (CPC) in mixed aqueous solutions were performed by dynamic light scattering and electrophoretic methods,1H and FT-PGSE NMR methods, absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, and TEM. The variation of CPC/C5R molar ratio from 30/1 to 10/1 leads to the formation of nanoassociates with similar composition, size, surface potential value, and improved (in compare with CPC) solubilizing properties. The preparation of mixed supramolecular systems which properties are independent on system composition in the wide range of components concentrations is an elegant example of the producing of colloidal materials with the required morphology and properties.
