Abstract
AbstractDialkylated diphenylether disulfonate with different alkyl chain lengths (Cn‐DADS, n = 8, 10 and 12) has been synthesized by Friedel‐Crafts alkylation of olefins (C8, C10 and C12) and diphenyl oxide, followed by sulfonation and neutralization with fuming sulfuric acid. Sulfated zirconia solid acids were prepared and used to catalyze the alkylation reaction. The structure of sulfated zirconia solid acids was identified by infrared spectroscopy. The title compounds were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and electrospray ionization‐mass spectrometry. Equilibrium surface tension measurements show that the critical micelle concentration (CMC) decreases with an increase in chain length, and the surface tension at CMC (γcmc) of C8‐DADS is the lowest. The minimum area per molecule (Amin) values of Cn‐DADS increase, while the surface excess concentration (Γmax) values decrease with the increase of the alkyl chain length. C10‐DADS has the highest pC20 and CMC/C20 among Cn‐DADS.
