Предложен метод оценки площади A, приходящейся на молекулу монослоя ПАВ, вначале перехода от жидко-растянутой к жидко-конденсированной фазе на основе двух теоретических моделей. Термодинамическая модель поведения дифильных монослоев с учетом неидеальности энтропии смешения позволяет оценить величину энергий Гиббса кластеризации ПАВ на основе П-А-изотерм, полученных при различных температурах. С другой стороны квантово-химический подход также дает возможность рассчитать данный термодинамический параметр и оценить структурные особенности получаемых монослоев. Величины энергий Гиббса кластеризации малых ассоциатов ПАВ и геометрических параметров элементарных ячеек монослоев были рассчитаны ранее с помощью квантово-химического полуэмпирического метода РМ3 для восьми классов дифильных соединений: насыщенные и этоксилированные спирты, насыщенные и цис-моноеновые карбоновые кислоты, α -гидрокси- и α -аминокислоты, N -ацилпроизводные аланина и диалкилзамещенные меламина. Эти параметры были использованы в термодинамической модели с учетом неидеальности энтропии смешения для расчета величин A. Оцененные значения A адекватно отражают экспериментальную температурную зависимость для рассматриваемого фазового перехода: с ростом температуры площадь, приходящаяся на молекулу ПАВ фиксированной длины цепи, уменьшается, и, наоборот, с ростом длины цепи ПАВ при фиксированной температуре величина A увеличивается. Это позволяет использовать предложенный подход в прогностических целях. A method is proposed to estimate the area per molecule of a surfactant monolayer A at the transition onset of the liquid-expanded to a liquid-condensed phase based on two theoretical models. A thermodynamic model with account for nonideality of the mixing entropy makes it possible to estimate the Gibbs energy of surfactant clusterization using the П-A isotherms obtained at different temperatures. On the other hand, the quantum-chemical approach also makes it possible to calculate this thermodynamic parameter and assess the structural features of the obtained monolayers. The values of the Gibbs clusterization energies of small surfactant associates and the geometric parameters of the monolayer unit cells were previously calculated using the quantum-chemical semiempirical method PM3 for eight classes of amphiphilic compounds: saturated and ethoxylated alcohols, saturated and cis-monoenic carboxylic acids, α-hydroxylic and α-amino acids, N -acyl-substituted alanines and dialkyl-substituted melamine. These parameters are used in the thermodynamic model with account for nonideality of the mixing entropy to calculate A. The estimated values Aadequately reflect the experimental temperature dependence for the considered phase transition: with an increase in temperature the area per surfactant molecule of a fixed chain length decreases, and vice versa, with an increase in the surfactant chain length at a fixed temperature, the value A increases. This makes it possible to use the proposed approach for prognostic purposes.

The present work describes the computational methods for the corrosion inhibition of aluminium using three selected chemical constituents (5-methyldihydroflavasperone, 5-methylflavasperone and methoxylated naphthyl butanone) reportedly obtained from the leaves extract of Guirea senegalensis. Quantum chemical calculations including EHOMO, ELUMO, energy gap (ΔE), electronegativity (χ), global hardness (η) and fraction of electrons transfer from the inhibitor molecule to the aluminium surface (ΔN) were calculated. The local reactive sites through Fukui indices which explain the effect of structural features of these components in relation to electrophilic and nucleophilic point of attack were evaluated. The similarities in quantum chemical parameters for the compounds obtained revealed that the adsorption strengths of the molecules will be mostly determined by molecular size rather than electronic structure parameters. Fukui indices showed that the point of interaction of inhibitor molecule with the Al(l10) surface were through aromatic carbon atom rich in pi-electrons and oxygen atom of the alkanone functional group in the inhibitor molecules. Molecular dynamics simulations describing the adsorption behavior of the inhibitor molecule on Al(110) surface through Forcite quench molecular dynamics were carried out. The compounds were found to all obey the mechanism of physical adsorption because of their relatively low adsorption energies.

This study was undertaken to determine those structural features of phospholipid molecules which influence their enrichment in type II cell lamellar body material. Cultured fetal rabbit lung tissue was labeled with [1-14C]acetate, type II cells were isolated, and extracellular lamellar body and microsomal fractions were prepared. Radiolabeled molecular species of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), followed by silver nitrate thin-layer chromatography of HPLC peak fractions that overlapped. Compared with microsomes, lamellar body PC was selectively enriched with molecular species containing 14- and 16-carbon fatty acids and depleted of species containing 18-carbon fatty acids. Palmitoleic acid and an ether linkage positively influenced the enrichment of PC molecular species in the lamellar body material, but these structural features were secondary to the predominant influence of fatty acid chain length. In vivo, lung tissue normally contains low levels of palmitoleic acid; hence most unsaturated fatty acids are 18-carbons or longer. A cellular lipid-sorting mechanism that selects PCs by recognition of 14- and 16-carbon fatty acid chains (and not by recognition of fatty acid saturation) should serve to enrich the resulting pulmonary surfactant with disaturated molecular species of PC.
