Abstract

The dilution enthalpies,Δ dil H, of tetraalkylammonium chondroitin 4-sulfate (R4NChSA) and polyacrylate (R4NPAA) having methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (Pr) and butyl (Bu) as alkyl groups (R) were measured to elucidate the effects of hydrophobic counterions. TheΔ dil H of R4NChS-A and R4NPAA were negative (exothermic) and decreased as the carbon number of tetraalkylammonium cation (R4N+) increased. These results were found to possess the same effects onΔ dil H as these of bromides. The non-electrostatic terms of dilution enthalpiesΔ dil H n of R4NChS and R4NPAA were evaluated by using the electrostatic terms ofΔ dil H obtained from Manning's theory. TheΔ dil H n of R4NChS-A and R4NPAA decreased, i.e., their exothermic tendencies increased as the carbon number of R4N+ increased, and the rate of decrease of the R4NPAA was more than that of the R4NChS-A. These results are discussed in relation to the increase of the hydrated water structure around R4N+ on dilution.
