Abstract:l,12-tyrosine diaminododecane(DADT) was synthesized by L-Tyrosine and 1,12-dodecanediamine and the structure of DADT was characterized by 1H NMR. The self-aggregation behavior of DADT in water was determined by conductivity, isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorescence spectroscopy. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of DADT is ca.0.16 mmol/L. The cmc value displays a weak trend of increase along with the increase of temperature and it decreases remarkably with the ionic strength increase. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity increases with the concentration of DADT when its concentration is lower than 0.18 mmol/L. When its concentration reaches 0.18 mmol/L , DADT monomers can self-aggregate into micelles so that the fluorescence intensity decreases accordingly. Meanwhile, it is found that the concentration of self-quenching of DADT is consistent with its critical micelle concentration which provides a convenient way for the study of the micellization behavior of bolaamphiphiles.
