"Preparation and Characterization of Some Cationic Surfactants Capped Metal Nanoparticles and Their Applications"

Abstract

[n the present work, a series of twel ve newly cationic surfactants were prepared and used as capping agents for the preparation of silver nanoparticles. The prepared cationic surfactants named as followed: • N-(3-(benzy lideneamino)propyl)-N,N-dimethyldecan-1- ammonium bromide (ClOBen). • N-(3-(ben zy lideneamino)propyi )-N,N-d imethy ldodecan -1- ammonium bromide (Cl2Ben). • N-(3-(benzylideneamino)propyi )-N,N-dimethy lhexadecan­

l - ammonium bromide (Cl6Ben).

• N-(3-((3,4-d irnethoxybenzyl idene)amino)propyi )-N,N­

dirnethyldecan-1- ammonium (C10Dim).

• N-(3-((3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)amino)propyi)-N,N­

dimethyldodecan-1- ammonium (C12Dirn).

• N-(3-((3,4-dirnethoxybenzylidene)amino)propyi)-N,N­

dirnethylhexadecan-1- ammonium (C16Dim).

• N-(3-((4-h ydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)propyl)­ N,N-dimethyldecan- 1- ammonium (C1OV). • N-(3-((4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)propyl)­ N,N-dimethyldodecan-1- ammonium (C12V).
