Abstract
The locus of solubilization of 6-R-2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline molecules (R=Me, OEt) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) has been determined by comparing the UV spectra of micellar solutions of the dihydroquinolines and their solutions in solvents of various polarities. The parameterRpv (defined as the ratio of the absorbance of the long-wave band maximum to that at the adjacent valley) decreases with an increase in the solvent polarity in the order:n-heptane > 2-propanol > ethanol > H2O. In SDS micellar solutions,Rpv is close to the corresponding value in water and does not depend on [SDS]. In CTAB micellar solutions,Rpv is essentially greater than in water and increases with [CTAB]. Thus, the solubilized dihydroquinoline molecules in SDS micelles reside in the Stern layer, and in CTAB micelles they are located both in the interior of the micelle and in the Stern layer; in this case the micelle packing begins from the core.
