Abstract:
<p align="justify"> The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyldiphenyl phosphate lil:ls studied in aqueous solutions containing micelles of diethylheptadeaylimidazolinium ethyl sulfate (DEHIES), sodium hydroxide .and various aonaentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Pseudo-first order (k<sub>&#968;</sub>) and second-order rate constants (k<sub>2</sub>) were determined at l5º, 25º, and 35 ºC and activation parameters such as Ea,&#916;G<sup>&#8800;</sup>, &#916;H<sup>&#8800;</sup> and &#916;S<sup>&#8800;</sup> were also measured. The rate profiles obtained for solutions containing 10-50% DMSO by volume exhibited clear maxima that shifted to higher concentrations of DEHIES as a function of DMSO added. For solutions containing 60-80% DMSO, there was no maximum in the rate profile, and inhibition of the reaction took place. Solutions containing 90% by volume of DMSO exhibited much higher reaction rates and considerably more catalysis. The experimental results are explained in terms of the Hughes-Ingold Theory, specific solvent effects, polarity, and internal pressure of the reaction medium. The interpretation and discussion of the results takes into consideration the formation of the stoichiometric hydrate DMSO.2H<sub>2</sub>O and the inhibitory effect of dimethyl sulfoxide on the formation of micelles of DEHIES. </p>
