Switching electrical conductivity in an AOT–isooctane–water microemulsion through photodimerization of solubilized N-methyl-2-quinolone
Literature Information
Markus Bufe, Thomas Wolff
The electrical conductivity of microemulsions composed of Aerosol OT (AOT), isooctane and water as a function of temperature was studied in the absence and presence of N-methyl-2-quinolone (NMQ), and consequences of an in situ photodimerization of NMQ were investigated. A conductivity increase upon raising the temperature of a water-in-oil microemulsion indicates percolation. Percolation temperatures (Tp) can be influenced specifically by the addition of certain substances. Small amounts of solubilized N-methyl-2-quinolone induce lower Tp (by up to 9 K), and photodimerization of NMQ shifts Tp back to higher values. Consequently, the microemulsion can be switched from conducting to non-conducting without varying temperature or composition by exposing samples to UV light at λ > 310 nm. The effect can be reverted in part by irradiation at λ = 250 nm. Coumarin derivatives—structurally related to NMQ—show much slighter effects.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
