Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium dioctylsulfosuccinate, CAS: N/A

Key Applications:

Solvent Extraction & Phase‑Transfer Systems

• Acts as a highly efficient extractant for metal ions, hydrophobic organics, and biomolecules in biphasic and multiphasic systems.
• Enhances phase‑transfer rates due to its large, flexible phosphonium cation and surfactant‑like anion.
• Useful in designing water‑in‑ionic‑liquid microemulsions for selective separations and enrichment workflows.

Microemulsions, Reverse Micelles & Soft Nanostructures

• Forms stable reverse micelles and microemulsions, similar to classical AOT systems but with improved thermal and oxidative stability.
• Enables solubilization of enzymes, nanoparticles, and hydrophobic reagents in structured nanoscale domains.
• Supports studies in confined‑space catalysis, protein folding, and nanoscale reaction engineering.

Catalysis & Reaction Media

• Provides a non‑volatile, tunable medium for acid‑, base‑, and metal‑catalyzed transformations.
• Enhances reaction rates in biphasic systems by improving interfacial contact and reagent dispersion.
• Suitable for continuous‑flow and high‑temperature catalytic processes due to its robust phosphonium framework.

Surfactant & Formulation Engineering

• Functions as a high‑performance surfactant in non‑aqueous and mixed‑solvent systems.
• Improves dispersion of pigments, nanoparticles, and hydrophobic actives in specialty formulations.
• Useful in lubricants, coatings, and antistatic treatments where ionic conductivity and hydrophobicity must be balanced.

Electrochemical & Interfacial Studies

• Serves as a hydrophobic ionic liquid electrolyte with enhanced interfacial structuring due to the bulky AOT anion.
• Supports studies of double‑layer behavior, ion transport, and electrode surface modification.
• Can be incorporated into gel electrolytes or polymer–ionic liquid composites for advanced device research.

Materials Science & Polymer Processing

• Acts as a plasticizer, compatibilizer, or morphology‑directing additive in polymer blends.
• Facilitates dispersion of fillers and conductive additives in elastomers and thermoplastics.
• Useful in designing ionically conductive materials with tailored mechanical and transport properties.
