Molar Polarization

The following physical properties of the acetic anhydride – acetone – carbon disulfide system have been investigated: congruent compositions, excess volumes, dielectric constants. For the system acetone – carbon disulfide, the excess volumes and the molar polarizations are much greater than those required by the mixture rule. From this we deduced that this system is very non-ideal and might, at a suitable temperature, form two layers; two liquid layers did indeed form at −73 °C, the upper critical solution temperature occurring somewhere between this temperature and 0 °C. We offer it as a general rule that, if the deviation from additivity of molar polarization is large and positive, two layers will form at a sufficiently low temperature, provided that solid phases do not intervene. This deduction becomes almost a certainty if large positive deviations from additivity of molar volume and large positive heats of mixing are also present.

Liquid Liquid Phase Separation

Complex coacervation is an emerging liquid/liquid phase separation (LLPS) phenomenon that behaves as a membrane-less organelle in living cells. Yet while one of the critical factors for complex coacervation is temperature, little analysis and research has been devoted to the temperature effect on complex coacervation. Here, we performed a complex coacervation of cationic protamine and multivalent anions (citrate and tripolyphosphate (TPP)). Both mixtures (i.e., protamine/citrate and protamine/TPP) underwent coacervation in an aqueous solution, while a mixture of protamine and sodium chloride did not. Interestingly, the complex coacervation of protamine and multivalent anions showed upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior, and the coacervation of protamine and multivalent anions was reversible with solution temperature changes. The large asymmetry in molecular weight between positively charged protamine (~4 kDa) and the multivalent anions (<0.4 kDa) and strong electrostatic interactions between positively charged guanidine residues in protamine and multivalent anions were likely to contribute to UCST behavior in this coacervation system.
