摘要

The interaction between a long chain alkane, tetradecane (abbreviated H₁₄), molecule and a semi-fluorinated alkane, 1-perfluorododecyl-hexadecane F(CF₂)₁₂(CH₂)₁₆H (abbreviated F₁₂H₁₆), molecule at the air/ H₁₄ solution interface was studied by measuring the surface tension of the H₁₄ solutions of F₁₂H₁₆ as a function of temperature and bulk concentration under atmospheric pressure. Pure liquid H₁₄ freezes without forming a condensed film at its surface. Nevertheless, a very small amount of F₁₂H₁₆ initiates the surface freezing of H₁₄. In contrast to the F₁₂H₁₆-hexadecane (abbreviated H₁₆) system, the condensed monolayer of H₁₄ has a finite solubility of F₁₂H₁₆ in the F₁₂H₁₆-H₁₄ system. By further increasing the bulk concentration of F₁₂H_16, the F₁₂ chains of the F₁₂H₁₆ molecules form the other closely packed condensed state. Hence, as in the case of the H₁₆ system, the H₁₄ system also exhibits a surface hetero-azeotrope behavior in the lower temperature region. Below the surface hetero-azeotropic point, the condensed H₁₄ monolayer containing a small amount of F₁₂H₁₆ is completely replaced by the condensed monolayer of F₁₂H₁₆. At 2 °C, for example, a surface of H₁₄ solution of F₁₂H₁₆ covered with a gaseous film of F₁₂H₁₆ is replaced by a condensed H₁₄ monolayer containing an almost gaseous state of F₁₂H₁₆, and is then completely replaced by the condensed monolayer of F₁₂H₁₆ with increasing bulk concentration. Above the temperature of the triple point for the F₁₂H₁₆ monolayer, the F₁₂H₁₆-H₁₄ system exhibits a gaseous, expanded, and condensed state.
