AbstractThe dynamic response of water-in-oil AOT microemulsion droplets to perturbations caused by rapid energy transfer has been interpreted in terms of the surfactant interface bending rigidity. The Iodine Laser Temperature Jump technique was used to rapidly (1 μs) increase the microemulsion temperature and thus disturb the system equilibrium. The dynamic relaxation to the new equilibrium position was monitored by measuring the turbidity of the microemulsion over a I ms time interval immediately after the temperature jump. The rate and direction of the turbidity change depended on the initial temperature, size and salt content of the water droplets. We observed characteristic times of 2 to 10 μs and attributed them to the relaxation of the surfactant interface. A bending modulus of 0.4 kT was derived for the AOT interface, using a model for the shape perturbation of a spherical interface.

Equilibrium Transition

Ultrasonic and temperature-jump relaxation kinetics have been used to observe, respectively, the spin equilibrium and tris-bis ligand dissociation equilibrium of the 2-(2′-pyridyl) imidazoleiron (II) complexes in dimethyl sulfoxide solutions. In the ultrasonic experiments a single relaxation curve describes the excess sound absorption with a relaxation time of 73�3 ns. This was identified as perturbation of the singlet-quintet spin equilibrium by comparison with previous laser temperature-jump measurements in other solvents and by the temperature dependence of the relaxation amplitude. The equilibrium constant for the singlet-quintet transition was determined by the Evans n.m.r . method to be 0.48 at 298 K. From the relaxation time and the equilibrium constant the rate constants for the spin-equilibrium transition can be calculated to be k15 of 4.5×106 s-1 and k51 of 9.4×106s-1. In the temperature-jump experiments a millisecond relaxation time was observed. The dependence of the relaxation time on the concentration of the free ligand is of the form kobs = a + b[L]. From the ratio b/a an equilibrium constant for the perturbed process can be calculated. An independent measure of this equilibrium constant was obtained from spectrophotometric measurements. The rate constants for the formation and dissociation of the tris complex are calculated to be 2.8 × 104 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and 2.1 × 102 s-1, respectively, at 298 K.
