Gas Chromatographic, Ab Initio and Molecular Statistical Study of the Cluster Adsorption of Water and Methanol Molecules onto Lyophilic Centres on a Generally Lyophobic Adsorbent Surface

Abstract: ABSTRACT:A comprehensive theoretical and experimental study of the adsorption of water and methanol molecules onto the active centres (carboxy and phenol groups) of a graphitised carbon black surface is reported. It was shown that the micro-clusters formed during the adsorption process possess a cyclic structure involving four to five molecules, similar to that found earlier in liquid water and at the silver iodide surface. Analysis of the structure and energetics of these clusters showed that their formation … Show more

“…Since ab initio calculations of clusters, modeling the systems consisting of octadecylammonium ions and octadecylamine molecules, was not possible because of limitations in resources for calculation, the effect of increasing the length of the alkyl chain on the characteristics of the molecular system was studied. We have used this approach previously in the investigation of the adsorption of water molecules on the surface carboxyl groups of graphite [11]. With this objective we carried out calculations on isolated alkylammonium ions and alkylamine molecules, and also alkylamine-alkylammonium complexes with one, two, and three carbon atoms in the alkyl chain.…”
