✦ Synopsis

The surface and aggregation properties of the naturally occurring carotenoid crocin (1), examined through measurements of surface tension and UV/VIS absorption, have been used to determine the following parameters: critical aggregate concentration, surface-saturation concentration, molecular area, free energy of adsorption and micellation, adsorption-micellar energy relationship, equilibrium constants, and aggregate size. On structural grounds and based on the determined molecular area at the interface, the digentiobiosyl ester of the conjugated, highly unsaturated carotenoid diacid crocetin C20 : 7 should be classified as a bolaamphiphile. Crocin forms true monomolecular solutions in H 2 O; only at rather high concentrations aggregation occurs.

The synthesis of the nitrene precursor 3-azido-2,7-naphthalene disulfonate (ANDS) is described. Upon exposure to ultraviolet light, the non-fluorescent azide photodecomposes into a reactive nitrene intermediate which can react with neighboring molecules to form fluorescent products. The reaction can
