Ion-specific effects in polyelectrolyte solutions: chain-chain interactions, chain rigidity and dynamics

Résumé

Ion-specific effects in aqueous solutions of polyelectrolytes are addressed here. We focus on ionene cationic chains, featuring simple structure, absence of side-groups and very regular chain charge density. Ion-specific effects in ionene solutions are demonstrated using a series of monovalent (halide) counterions. The study combines both static and dynamic measurements by small angle neutron scattering, neutron spin echo and PFG-NMR. Ion-specific effects are a phenomenon at high polyelectrolyte concentration and the nature of the counterion is seen to influence drastically the ionene chain-chain interactions. The origin lies in the closer approach of large, highly polarisable counterions to the chain backbone, leading to more constricted counterion clouds. Equally affected is the local chain rigidity, as well as collective and self-diffusion coefficients at larger scales. Small, nonpolarizable, strongly hydrating counterions, here F-ions, lead to locally rigid chains. For such chains, the nm-scale collective dynamics as seen by neutron spin echo, is the fastest, while the self-diffusion seen at µm scale by PFG-NMR is the slowest. In other words, the loss of charge on the chain due to ionspecific counterion "condensation" has the opposite effect on collective diffusion and self-diffusion of the chains.
