Abstract

The base for this approach is spontaneous and self-assembly formation in the solution of different kinds of liquid nanoreactors (micelles, microemulsions, vesicles, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, LB, L-B-L films) simultaneously with the analytes and analytical reagents i.e. supramolecular effect. As a result of inclusion of the analytes and reagents into the nanoreactors, the guest microenvironment changes and provokes the change of their protolytic, tautomeric, complexing and a reactivity properties, hydration and analytical characteristics. Several features of liquid nanosystems, which are the base for their biomimetic behavior and enhancement of the analytical and metrological characteristics in chemical analysis and separation, are as follows: � The ability to concentrate and bring close together the components of analytical reaction in the nanoreactor pseudophase even though they are considerably different in hydrophobicity; � The multicenter and multifunctional noncovalent interactions of the components of nanophase with solubilized substrate; among these interactions, the hydrophobic ones plays a predominant role; � The pronounced oriented sorption and cavity effect, in which the nature and geometric compatibility of the host and guest are the decisive factors for the binding of a substrate; � The considerable microheterogeneity of the medium within nanopseudophase which manifests itself in dramatic changes in the dielectric constant, micropolarity, microacidity, microviscosity and other physicochemical properties of the unique medium with gradient of these properties. � As a result, dramatic enhancements of all kinds of analytical signals in many methods takes place, and new methods are appeared. � The work was supported by RFBR, project no. 12-03-00450a.
