Structure and location of proton hydrates in Triton N-42 reverse micelles during injection solubilization of HCl solutions

Аннотация

A Fourier IR spectroscopic study has shown that during injection solubilization* of HCl solutions (V_s/V_o = 1.0-3.5 vol.%) at a concentration of 1-4 M by Triton N-42 reverse micelles in n-decane, the number of water molecules bound to protons is equal to 2.7±0.1. Protons form H₇O₃⁺ (70%) and H₅O₂⁺ (30%) cations in equilibrium, which are localized in the aqueous cores of the micelles.
