Abstract
The distribution of different amines between n-hexane bulk and the micellar pseudophase of AOT reverse micelles were measured by a fluorometric method. An independent method was used to corroborate the incorporation of the amines to the interface. The effect of the amine structure on the binding constant was analysed.
Highlights
The increase of the solubility in the presence of supramolecular aggregates is an important phenomenon in a variety of scientific and technological areas
In our group we have studied the binding constant of nitroanilines and diphenylamines to water/AOT/n-hexane reverse micelles [2,3]
The formation of the Ru(bpy)3+1 ion by laser flash photolysis of a mixture of Ru(bpy)3+2 and amines was used as a further confirmation of the distribution of the amines between the micellar pseudophase and the organic bulk
Summary
The increase of the solubility in the presence of supramolecular aggregates is an important phenomenon in a variety of scientific and technological areas. There are extensive data regarding to the solubilization of small molecules in biological membranes, liposomes and direct micelles. In reverse micelles systems data are scanty [1].
