ESR Probes for the Study of the Aggregational Behavior of Perfluoropolyether Surfactants and of the Physical Status of Interlamellar Water. 2. Mn(I1) Probe Sandra Ristori, Elena Ottomani, Maurizio Romanelli, and Giacomo Martini* Dipartimento di Chimica, Universita' di Firenze, 50121 Florence, Italy Received: April 5, 1995; In Final Form: September 20, 1995@

The physical status of water in self-assembling aggregates (lamellar phases mainly) of the perfluoropolyether (PFPE) surfactant was investigated by the use of the Mn2+ (S = 5/2, I = 9 2 ) ion as a paramagnetic probe. From the ESR line shape as a function of temperature and of surfactant content, the dynamic parameters were obtained. The results are compared with those previously obtained by using nitroxides and Cu2+ ions and discussed in terms of the structural features derived from previous IR and scattering data. The rheological properties of water confined between lamellae of PFPE are differentiated, depending on the distance from the charged surface, as (i) water directly bound to the charged surface of the lamellae; (ii) water layers not interacting with the lamellar surface, with a motional behavior resembling that of free water, (iii) water layers with a motional behavior intermediate between (i) and (ii). This picture agrees with the generally observed properties of water confined in restricted spaces of inorganic, organic, and biological systems.

Introduction In the past few years we have studied the behavior in solution of typical fluorosurfactants with similar properties such as the branched-chain perfluoropolyether anion, 1 (henceforth simply indicated as PFPE), and the straight-chain perfluoroalkanoate anions, 2 (PFA), particularly the perfluorooctanoate CF,( OCF,CF), -0 -CF2COO-

The main electron spin relaxation mechanism for Mn(I1) ion is the time modulation of the zero-field splitting (ZFS) term, S*D.S, where D is a traceless tensor. Both molecular reorientation and distortion caused by collisions with solvent or ligand molecules cause spin relaxation. Analytical equations for the expected transitions cannot be obtained;** an averaged longitudinal relaxation rate is given by the relation23

Depending on concentration, temperature, and structure, perfluorinated compounds such as 1 and 2 also form micellar phases. The structure of these aggregates has been studied mainly by direct (small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering, S A N S and SAXS, respectively, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques) and indirect (electron spin resonance in continuous and in pulsed wave method^).'-^,^-^,^ Small and large nitroxide radicals have been extensively used as the probes for obtaining dynamic and structural features by the indirect methods. ,4-6 Very recently, we made use of the Cu(I1) probe for a continuous-wave ESR investigation of both aggregation properties and counterion effects in PFPE, 1, solutions at different concentrations. l 7 We report here the natural extension of that work.

where A2 is the inner product of the ZFS tensor, wo is the electron spin resonance frequency, and tcis the correlation time for the electron-lattice interaction, which can be either the rotational correlation time or the correlation time for any other fluctuation of the ZFS tensor.22 Since the ESR sextet of Mn2+ ion is extremely sensitive to symmetry changes around the paramagnetic center, most of the ESR work with Mn(I1) in fluid solution has been carried out to study the ionic interactions in pure inorganic systems and in Mn-containing soluble material^.^^-*^ It is accepted that, in the fast exchange domain, changes in the outer solvation sphere simply broaden the line width of the hyperfine components and the evaluation of the broadening has been used to extract dynamic information on the systems under study. This is well documented in papers and reviews.'9-21 Replacement of inner solvation molecules induces ZFS changes largely enough to cause the ESR spectra to become unobservable around room temperature, so that a fraction of Mn2+ ions may escape detection.27 This particular behavior is therefore suitable to follow the dynamic features of aggregated systems such as micellar and lamellar phases of perfluorinated surfactants, whose characteristics strongly depend on the water content and on the thickness of the interlayer water. The physical status of water in these self-assembling aggregates is a task of major interest when these systems are studied. Because of its peculiar ESR activity, Mn(I1) can be helpful in solving this problem, as it is largely documented in the literature, when the study of water finely dispersed in 0 1995 American Chemical Society

Perfluoropolyether Surfactants restricted space is approached by magnetic resonance techn i q u e ~ ? ~In - ~this ~ work we show that the rheological properties of water confined between lamellae of PFPE are differentiated depending on the distance from the charged lamellar surface and three motional domains are recognized: (i) water bound directly to the polar heads of the surfactant molecules forming the self-assembled aggregate; (ii) water layers not interacting with the surface, with a motional behavior very similar to that of free water, (iii) water layers with a motion intermediate to those of (i) and (ii). The above findings agree wth, and integrate, all of the results obtained in the studies carried out on this system with other paramagnetic probes and with other techniques, including SAXS, SANS,596and infrared spectros~opies.~

Experimental Section The PFPE surfactant 1 with equivalent weight 664 (n = 3) was obtained in the acid form as almost monodisperse material (dispersivity I5%, from chromatographic analysis; that is, the 664 EW material represented a fraction higher than 95% of the total) as intermediate in the synthesis of PFPE polymer^.^^,^^ Its ammonium salt was obtained after exchange with a large excess (molar ratio PFPE/NH3 = 1/10) of aqueous NH3. The solid salt was obtained after removing the ammonia excess and drying under vacuum at 60 "C overnight. The Mn(II) ions were introduced under the form of Mn(C104)2.6H20 (Fluka), because no salt precipitation could lead to the Mn(PFPE)2 formation, contrary to the case of the Cu(I1) ion. Lamellar and micellar systems were prepared by mixing Mn(C104)2 and NI-&-PFPE solutions in the appropriate amounts in order to obtain NH4/Mn atomic ratio >50/1, except when stated (see, for instance, Figure 1 and its discussion). In no case was the total Mn(II) concentration over 3.6 x lo-' mol/ L, so that spin-spin effects did not alter the ESR line shape. A two-day equilibration was necessary to reach homogeneous and stable systems, as is shown for PFPE lamellar phases by SANS and SAXS measurement^.^.^ This is, moreover, quite typical for several surfactants. The samples were sealed in 1 mm inner diameter quartz capillaries to be used in the ESR experiments. These were carried out with a Bruker 200D spectrometer operating at X-band (9.5 GHz), equipped with the Stelar data handling system and with the Bruker ST100-700 variabletemperature assembly. Results and Discussion Aqueous solution of Mn2+ at concentrations ranging from 5 to 3.6 x m o l 5 to which the stoichiometric amount of NI&-PFPE was added gave the typical six-line ESR spectrum of Mn(C104)~~olutions?~ with the same line shape and the same line width within the experimental uncertainty ( f 0 . 1 mT). Because of the invariance of the line width in this concentration range, the simple peak heights were checked to determine the free Mn(I1) contribution. This meant that Mn(H20)62+was the ionic form prevailing in the presence of the above concentrations of NI&-PFPE. The ESR spectrum of hexaaquomanganese(I1) was also observed at PFPE concentrations higher than the stoichiometric value. Figure 1 shows the peak-to-peak distance, AH, of the fourth hypefine components (mI = 1/2) of the ESR spectrum of a lod3m o l 5 solution Mn2+ as a function of [PFPE] at T = 297 K. The choice of the fourth hpf component was dictated by the fact that this line is the less affected by second-order effect^.'^-^^ Although the critical micellar concentration, cmc, of PFPE in pure water is 3 x the line width of the ESR spectrum was the same as that of Mn(H20)62+in pure x

water at the same temperature up to [PFPE] = 2 x mom (the magnetic parameters, i.e., the g factor and the hyperfine coupling constant, were also the same). On the other hand, a sudden line broadening was observed at [PFPE] = 3 x man, and the width slightly decreased with increasing the surfactant concentration. Although only dynamic features could be derived from these results, we might suggest that at [PFPE] < 3 x mom, where the system consists of micellar aggregates, Mn(II) ions were confined in a water phase with properties typical of free water, that is, same mobility, structure, and viscosity. The Mn2+-micelle interactions, if any, would occur at the level of the inner solvation sphere whose result should be an intensity decrease of the absorption. However, no signal intensity decrease was observed in the limits of the experimental error so that interaction in both inner and outer solvation spheres could be ruled out. The sudden increase of the line width at [PFPE] re 3 x m o m can be due either to the increase of the microviscosity around the paramagnetic ion and/or to the increase of ZFS as resulting from interaction in the outer sphere with the polar heads of the aggregates. From previous ~ t u d i e s ~changes * ~ * ~ in the aggregate shape have been evidenced as a function of the surfactant concentration. Surface tension2 and nitroxide ESR measurements2s3suggested these changes to occur at [PFPE] > 2 x mol5. At this concentration no changes in the spectral ESR features of the Mn(I1) sextet were observed. This can be attributed to the different location of the ESR detected Mn(II) ions that resided in the water layers between aggregates, in contrast with the TMT+(4-trimethylammonium-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine- 1-0xyl) nitroxide directly bound to the carboxylate heads of the aggregate surface. A further evolution of the system toward a lamellar topology has been suggested on the basis of small-angle scattering5 and ESR TMT+ results3 at higher PFPE concentrations ( 1 2 x mom). The observed increased line width of Mn(I1) at [PFPE] = 3 x m o l 5 could be related to such a change. A more quantitative analysis requires the estimation of the parameters determining the h4n(II) line width i.e., the correlation time rc and the inner product Az of the ZFS tensor. Usually this is accomplished by comparing simulated and experimental spectra. It is known that AH of the ESR spectra of 6S ions exhibits a maximum value as a function of temperature and this maximum corresponds to the condition wo2r> = 1.36,37This maximum is quite often observed for Mn(II) solutions adsorbed onto porous supports, where the solvent, typically water, does not crystallize, and it is used to obtain the value of the correlation

(ii) Water layers not interacting with the surface, where the Mn2+ behavior is very similar to that in free water; this is the predominant water at low surfactant concentration, where the bound water fraction is negligible with respect to the free water; (iii) Intermediate water layers, where the surface interactions are effective in modifying the water structure, which prevents the usual liquid-solid phase transition to be observed42 and induce the symmetry distortion in the M I I ( H ~ O ) ~outer ~ + sphere which causes larger ZFS values. The resultant line broadening depends on the overall thickness of this water layers, that is on the ratio between free and bound water.

Conclusions The representation of the interlamellar water in PFPE lamellar phases as parted among three different motional domains had been derived from the ESR data of small and large nitroxides and of Cu(I1) probe and from IR results as coupled with structural data given by S A N S and SAXS patterns.
