Reverse Micelles (RMs)

One of the most interesting nanometer- sized structures  selective encapsulation/solubilization  catalysis  membrane-mimetic system NaAOT, sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, a surfactant molecule commonly used for making RMs

Formation of Gas-Phase RM

Approach

  • 1. Formation of

aerosol particles at the sea surface

  • 3. RM in the gas-phase,

maintaining encapsulated minerals and small

  • rganics
  • 2. Transfer of micelle-

contained droplets to the gas phase, evaporation of water

In Nature

(marine aerosols)

In Laboratory

Nano-electrospray ionization of micelle solution

Reverse micelle- contained droplets

RM in vacuo, encapsulating biomolecules Transfer to the gas phase, removal of solvent, then exposure to the vacuum

Selectivity between different AAs?

  • Selectivity reflects a competition between electrostatic and hydrophobic forces, which can

be tuned up by changing the pH of ESI solution.

  • Amino acid with a higher pI exists in protonated form and has a larger affinity with AOT-

(i.e. Arg > Trp > Asp)

Conclusions

 NaAOT surfactants are able to form RM in the gas phase.  Gas-phase RM can act as nanometer-sized vehicle for selective transport of non-volatile biomolecules into the gas phase.  Driving force for solubilization: electrostatic & hydrophobic interactions. Application in Analytical Chemistry: Separation and Direct Determination of ionic and neutral amino acids in solution.
