β¦ Synopsis
The excited state proton transfer reaction was studied for carbazole (CAZL) in non-ionic (Triton X-100), cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) and anionic (sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS)) micelles. The micelles strongly affect the equilibrium quotient of the process. Taking the excited state proton transfer reaction as a probe, the critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) for the three micellar solutions were estimated. Furthermore, a phase transition was observed at high ionic strengths for Triton x-100.
Note added in proof
A successful method of CMC determination using twisted intramolecular charge transfer fluorescence from neutral probe molecules has been reported recently from this laboratory (
