Abstract:

A theoretical methodology is introduced to calculate the low-bias conductance, structure, and composition of long polyelectrolyte-modified nanochannels of arbitrary geometry. This methodology is applied to explore the coupling between acid-base equilibrium and geometry in cylindrical, conical, and trumpet-shaped nanochannels modified by end-grafted layers of poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-phosphate) (PMEP), a diprotic polyacid. The ionic conductance and speciation curves (i.e., the fraction of deprotonated, monoprotonated, and diprotonated acid segments) for this system were predicted as a function of the solution pH. The apparent pKa's and widths of the transitions between the different acid-base states determined from the speciation curves depend on the diameter and shape of the nanochannel and the bulk salt concentration. In the limit of wide channels, the apparent pKa's and widths can be estimated by a simplified analytical model derived from the more general molecular theory. Both the general and the simplified theory predicts that, due to charge-regulation effects, the first acid-base transition (0/-1 transition) is wider than the second one (-1/-2), and both transitions are wider than the ideal one expected for an isolated acid-base group in the bulk. It is also shown that the inflection points of the conductance versus pH curves provide a very good estimation of the apparent pKa's of the polyelectrolyte for cylindrical channels, but the quality of the estimation decreases for noncylindrical geometries. © 2016 American Chemical Society.
