T h e U s e of C a t i o n i c Surfactants i n Electrochemistry and C a t a l y s i s on P l a t i n u m THOMAS C. FRANKLIN, MAURICE IWUNZE, and STEPHEN GIPSON Baylor University, Chemistry Department, Waco, TX 76798 The addition of cationic surfactants, especially Hyamine 2389 (predominantly methyldodecylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride) to aqueous systems has been shown to increase yields in electrolytic synthesis studies, to make possible voltammetric studies of various organic and inorganic compounds using platinum electrodes, and to accelerate the rate of hydrolysis of esters on platinum surfaces. The surfactant accomplishes this by solubilizing the compounds in micelles and by forming a hydrophobic film on the surface of the platinum which excludes water but allows the penetration of the reactants to the surface. The film structure has been indicated to be similar to the structure of an inverted micelle. It is caused by adsorption of chloride ions on the platinum and the attachment of the quaternary ion by ion pairing. One can cause alternating increases and decreases in the rate of electrooxidation and catalytic esterification by the presence of monolayers, bilayers, etc. General Use of Additives Additives have been routinely used in corrosion (1), catalysis (2) and electrodeposition(3,4) ,fields in which metals interface with electrolytic solutions. Studies in these areas are part of the field of modification of metal surfaces in order to change the rates of processes occurring at the surface. In recent years there has been a good deal of work on what is known as chemical modifications of electrodes (5). While these semipermanent modifications have involved some sophisticated investigations, the additive field is largely studied by a trial and error process. The work in our laboratories has been aimed at obtaining an understanding of the role of additives in these 0097-6156/82/0177-0139$05.00/0 © 1982 American Chemical Society

Many of these s t u d i e s have concentrated on quaternary s a l t s Ç6-18) and t h e i r use i n o r g a n i c e l e c t r o c h e m i s t r y . These s t u d i e s were i n p a r t stimulated by the development a t Monsanto (1Z) and l a t e r a t P h i l l i p s Petroleum (18) of e l e c t r o l y t i c processes f o r the e l e c t r o h y d r o d i m e r i z a t i o n of a c r y l o n i t r i l e t o make a d i p o n i t r i l e u s i n g quaternary s a l t s as supporting e l e c t r o l y t e s . The research i n e l e c t r o o r g a n i c chemistry has concentrated on the uses of s u r f a c t a n t s to s o l u b i l i z e organic reactants and products i n aqueous e l e c t r o l y t i c s o l u t i o n s . In some cases l a r g e amounts of these h y d r o t r o p i c s a l t s (17,19,20) have been used t o break the water s t r u c t u r e thus i n c r e a s i n g "the s o l u b i l i t y o f the organic compounds. In other cases the s u r f a c t a n t s have been used as e m u l s i f y i n g agents f o r o r g a n i c s o l v e n t s , used to d i s s o l v e the compounds (21-26) . In s t i l l o t h e r cases the compounds have been s o l u b i l i z e d i n the form of m i c e l l e s (27-39). Phase T r a n s f e r and M i c e l l e C a t a l y s i s I t has become i n c r e a s i n g l y evident that the s u r f a c t a n t s are accomplishing more than the s o l u b i l i z a t i o n of the organic compounds. C e r t a i n l y phase t r a n s f e r c a t a l y s i s would be expected t o occur i n the emulsion system and t h i s has been proposed i n s e v e r a l o r g a n i c synthesis s t u d i e s (21-^26). The term m i c e l l e c a t a l y s i s has not been used to any extent i n e l e c t r o c h e m i s t r y . Instead terms such as i o n p a i r i n g and i o n b r i d g i n g have been used t o e x p l a i n the a c c e l e r a t i o n of e l e c t r o d e r e a c t i o n s by the presence o f a v a r i e t y of ions i n the i n t e r f a c e between the s o l u t i o n and the e l e c t r o d e (40-42). Obviously these processes are the same king o f processes one p o s t u l a t e s i n m i c e l l e c a t a l y s i s . The Surfactant F i l m on the Surface of the E l e c t r o d e Studies i n our l a b o r a t o r i e s (43-51) have concentrated on the e f f e c t s of quaternary s a l t s on e l e c t r o c h e m i c a l oxidations on platinum e l e c t r o d e s i n emulsion and m i c e l l e systems.

The quaternary s a l t used f o r most o f the experiments was Hyamine 2389 (predominantly methyl dodecylbenzyl t rime thy 1 ammonium c h l o r i d e ) and the aqueous s o l u t i o n was s t r o n g l y b a s i c .

Voltammetric

Studies

Voltammetric methods are very u s e f u l f o r studying f a c t o r s that i n f l u e n c e f i l m s on the s u r f a c e o f metals. F i g u r e 2 (44) shows a comparison of anodic c u r r e n t - v o l t a g e curves obtained with platinum e l e c t r o d e s i n aqueous sodium hydroxide. I t can be seen that i n the absence of a s u r f a c t a n t water i s o x i d i z e d a t about 0.7 v o l t s . I f a n i o n i c o r n e u t r a l s u r f a c t a n t s are present there i s l i t t l e s h i f t i n t h i s o x i d a t i o n p o t e n t i a l i n d i c a t i n g that water penetrates r e l a t i v e l y unhindered t o the e l e c t r o d e s u r f a c e . However, when Hyamine 2389 i s added two things are observed. F i r s t , there i s a peak a t about 1.3 v o l t s showing that the Hyamine i s o x i d i z e d . Upon repeated o x i d a t i o n one sees t h i s maximum decrease i n height u n t i l a f t e r 3 or 4 runs one sees a r e l a t i v e l y f l a t r e s i d u a l c u r r e n t l i n e . This behavior i n d i c a t e s that the Hyamine i s o x i d i z e d to form a r e l a t i v e l y f i r m l y bound f i l m which prevents new unoxidized Hyamine from reaching the metal s u r f a c e . In a d d i t i o n one sees that the o x i d a t i o n p o t e n t i a l f o r water i s i n c r e a s e d t o about 2.0 v o l t s . Thus t h i s hydrophobic f i l m has excluded water from the e l e c t r o d e i n t e r f a c e t o such an extent that one must apply 1.3 v o l t s more i n order t o o x i d i z e the water. This hydrophobic behavior i s s i m i l a r t o the behavior expected i n m i c e l l e systems. Oxidation of Organic Compounds on the Filmed

Surface

From a p r a c t i c a l e l e c t r o c h e m i c a l viewpoint the f i l m f u r nishes 1.3 v o l t s more of o x i d i z i n g p o t e n t i a l i n which t o look f o r the o x i d a t i o n o f compounds. Because of t h i s e x t r a p o t e n t i a l range there a r e a number o f compounds that give d i s t i n c t o x i d a t i o n waves i n the presence of the Hyamine that g i v e no wave o r only i n d i s t i n c t waves i n i t s absence. F i g u r e 3 shows a v o l t ammetric curve f o r the o x i d a t i o n o f t h i o u r e a (47). Thiourea gives no observable wave i n the absence o f the s u r f a c t a n t but gives very d i s t i n c t waves i n i t s presence. I t should a l s o be noted that the e l e c t r o c h e m i c a l technique furnishes a method o f studying which substances are e x t r a c t e d by the i n v e r t e d m i c e l l e i n t o the zone o f r e a c t i o n .

One o f the primary uses of modified e l e c t r o d e s has been i n the area o f e l e c t r o c h e m i c a l s y n t h e s i s .

making the film. With the smaller tetraethylammonium chloride where water can attack the radical one obtains predominantly the ketone, but when Hyamine 2389 i s used the product i s an o i l . It should be pointed out that these are not good synthesis methods. I t i s d i f f i c u l t to separate the product from the sur­ factant. The yields listed i n Table II are the isolated y i e l d s . Undoubtedly the true yields are higher. Coulometric studies indicate that in several cases the yields approach 100%. Heterogeneous C a t a l y s i s

Micelle catalysis of such reactions as the hydrolysis of ethyl benzoate have been extensively studied (53,54). Although platinum does not normally catalyze the hydrolysis, i f one i n ­ serts a piece of platinum into a solution in which the micelle catalyzed reaction i s occurring the rate i s accelerated (50). The increase in rate i s linearly proportional to the area of the platinum (Figure 5). If one varies the concentration of the surfactant one sees a periodic r i s e and f a l l in the extra cat­ alysis caused by the platinum. The increase i n catalysis by platinum rises to about 4.0 Χ 10" M/sec at 22 mM Hyamine» de­ creases to about 0 at 45 mM, increases to 3.8 M/sec at 95 mM. A logical explanation of this data can be obtained from the structure of the film. Figure 6 shows a simplified model of the filmed electrode with multilayers present. As one adds small amounts of surfactant one forms an inverted micelle and obtains the extra catalysis of the inverted micelle causing a rise in the rate. As more surfactant i s added the normal micelle starts to form on the surface and the rate drops back toward the catalysis of the normal micelle. This process i s repeated through the second and third layers (50). That one i s looking at catalysis by an adsorbed film can further be shown by potentiostatting the metal at various potentials (50). At +1.4 volts where the chloride i s more strongly adsorbed the reaction rate is 11.8 X 10~ M/sec. It de­ creases as the potential decreases reaching a minimum of about 7.8 X 10~ M/sec around the zero point of charge and then begins to increase again reaching 11.8 X 10~ M/sec again around -0.6 V. The increase in the negative potential region is probably due to direct adsorption of the quaternary ion. 6

Most other ions do not penetrate the f i l m . For example F i g u r e 7 shows that f e r r o c y a n i d e , without Hyamine present g i v e s a simple o x i d a t i o n wave. With Hyamine present the normal wave disappears i n d i c a t i n g that the f e r r o c y a n i d e cannot penetrate t o the e l e c t r o d e . However, there i s a sharp peak a t the p o t e n t i a l a t which the Hyamine normally begins to o x i d i z e . The r e s i d u a l then decreases to a very low c u r r e n t . This f i l m which i s q u i t e impervious to any of the compounds that are normally o x i d i z e d on the Hyamine f i l m (49) probably c o n s i s t s of a Hyamine-ferrocyanide insulating layer.
