Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is used to observe subtleties in supramolecular structure during the self-assembly of polymers in solution. Lifetime distribution analysis of the fluorescence decay kinetics of the solvent-sensitive fluorescent probe 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonic acid associated with the di-block copolymer poly(2-vinylpyridine)41–poly(ethylene oxide)204 (P2VP-PEO) as it self-assembles enabled identification of three microdomains, distinguishable on the basis of micropolarity. These microdomains can be assigned to different supramolecular substructures: the micelle corona (high polarity), the micelle core and the P2VP globule (both low polarity), and the core–corona interface and the globule–PEO junction (both intermediate polarity). Changes in the relative population distributions of these sub-structures as a function of P2VP-PEO pinpoint the onset of micellization corresponding to the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the copolymer, but indicate significant variation in supramolecular structure, including micelle formation, well below the CMC. This suggests that supramolecular self-assembly in polymeric systems has characteristics of a second order phase transition.

The article is devoted to the topical problem of studying the supramolecular structure of petroleum asphaltenes. They are the prospective materials for molecular electronics and nanotechnology. At present, the properties of asphaltenes at the supramolecular level are studied by various experimental methods and methods of mathematical modeling. As objects of a research the asphaltenes concentrated in residual fractions of vacuum distillation of the West Siberian oil with a temperature of boiling more than 500 °C were used. Asphaltenes of samples allocated with dissolution of fractions in toluene with the subsequent sedimentation by surplus of n-heptane by Golde's technique. Results of ASM-researches show existence of steady units from nanoclusters of oil asphaltenes in the form of structures of an ellipsoidal form about 4.5 nm high and with a lateral size up to 100 nm. The research of supramolecular structure of nanoclusters of oil asphaltenes in the GAUSSIAN software package is executed. Calculation was carried out by method of molecular mechanics of MM with full optimization of geometry. The structure of molecular fragments of a nanoparticle of asphaltenes is defined according to data of 1H, 13C NMR and IR of spectroscopy and the chemical analysis earlier. These data will be agreed with results of works on identification of molecules of asphaltenes by the ASM method of high resolution. Follows from calculations that the nanoclusters having an appearance of quasicrystal reniform structures with number of molecular fragments from 2 to 10 are steadiest, at the same time the distance between the planes of molecular fragments of a nanocluster is in the range from 3.53 up to 3.67 Å, and diameter of particles 11-40 Å. Data on height of nanoclusters will well be agreed with results of ASM-researches for small structures. Calculations of supramolecular structure of oil asphaltenes by method of molecular mechanics show considerable energy of intermolecular interaction of structural molecular fragments of 60-118 kJ/mol that testifies to a possibility of self-assembly of ordered structures from these nanoparticles visualized by means of ASM. The received results are confirmed by data of the X-ray diffraction analysis and electric measurements on energy of activation of hopping conductivity (129.58 kJ/mol) and also the carried-out earlier thermodynamic calculations. As appears from calculations, the increased stability of quasicrystal structure which arises, most likely, as a result of transfer of a charge between fragments as molecules have the low potential of ionization and high affinity to an electron is characteristic of nanoclusters.
