Abstract
By methods of conductivity measurements, micellization of sodium dodecyl sulfate in ethylene glycol at the concentration above 0.18 M is shown. The La 3+ ion catalysis of solvolysis of phosphorus acid ester both in the absence of surfactant and in the micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate solution in ethylene glycol is found. The influence of the other lanthanide ions on the kinetics is also studied. The La 3+ and Pr 3+ are found to exert an identical effect while Sm 3+ is less effective. By methods of polarizing microscopy, the formation of liquid crystalline mesophase at high lanthanum (tris(dodecyl)sulfate concentrations in ethylene glycol is revealed. The investigation of the catalytic effect of the sodium dodecyl sulfate -La 3+ (3 : 1 molar) composition has shown a sharp acceleration of the reaction at high surfactant concentration.
