Abstract
Applicability of the nitromethane selective quenching rule for discriminating between alternant versus nonalternant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is examined for 58 representative PAH solutes dissolved in micellar N-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate and in micellar N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate solvent media. Results of measurements show that zwitterionic surfactants can be considered, for the most part, as providing a polar solubilizing media as far as the nitromethane selective quenching rule is concerned. Nonalternant PAHs that contain electron donating methoxy- and hydroxy-functional groups (and methyl-groups to a much lesser extent) are noted exceptions.
