Quenching of the fluorescence of methylpyrene and anthracene derivatives by acrylamide in micelles follows a linear Stern-Volmer relationship. Incorporation of the fluorophores inside the micelles leads to a decrease in the quenching rates, and the bimolecular rate constants, obtained in terms of th

AbStIXt Acrylanude 1s a hydrophdx fluorescence quencher that nonetheless readily enters the hydmpholnc mterlor of detergent nucelles m aqueous solution No such movement IS observed between bulk aqueous and orgamc phases &molecular quenchmg constants m both normal and reverse nucelles mchcate that quenchmg of nucelhzed pyrene fluorescence by acrylanude IS a dtisional process Considerations of energy transfer from donor nacelles to a solubdlzed pyrene acceptor, II/I, ratios of the probe, and comparison with quenchmg by bronude Ions suggest that the hydrocarbon extrenuty of acrylamlde has the alxhty to penetrate across the polarity boundaxy of normal rmcelles and quench the fluorescence of a probe located Just mslde It &ywords Acrylarmde quenclung, Fluorescence, MIcelIes, Quenching

The fluorescence from the St state of pyrene solubilized within the hydrophobic region of sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles has been studied as a function of concentration of some cationic additives to the aqueous phase. At concentrations of added quencher below ca\_ 10v3 mol dm -3 the fluorescence de
