Molecular interactions between some amino acids and a pharmaceutically active ionic liquid domiphen DL-mandelic acid in aqueous medium at temperatures from 293.15 K to 313.15 K

Abstract

Molecular interactions between some amino acids (glycine, l-alanine, l-valine and l-leucine) and a pharmaceutically active ionic liquid domiphen DL-mandelic acid ([DOM][MAN]) in aqueous solution at various temperatures have been studied by means of volumetric, conductivity and spectroscopy measurements. Density data were used to derive standard partial molar volume, V2,φ0 standard partial molar expansibility, Eφ0, standard transfer volume, ΔtV0, isobaric thermal expansion coefficient, α0 and hydration number, nH of amino acids. On the basis of the experimental conductivity and fluorescence spectroscopy data, the aggregation behaviour of [DOM][MAN] in aqueous amino acid solutions was investigated. Critical micelle concentration, cmc, aggregation number, Nagg, some thermodynamic functions, ΔGm0, ΔHm0, ΔSm0 and ΔCp0 of micellization for [DOM][MAN] have been obtained. Effect of concentration and temperature on the obtained parameters has been discussed. Binding constant Kb for amino acid-[DOM][MAN] complex estimated using the UV–vis spectroscopic data approved that the solute-solvent interactions were strengthened by elevating the size of alkyl part of amino acids.
