Abstract
Abstract— The 1‐anilinonaphthalene‐8‐sulfonic acid solubilized in dodecylammonium propionate reversed micellar cyclohexanic solutions, emitted a strong fluorescence, and was photooxidized under aerobic conditions. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) highly quenched the fluorescence and remarkably enhanced the oxidation reaction. The fluorescence quenching obeyed the Stern‐Volmer relation, and the photooxidation was caused by the singlet oxygen generated by the photosensitization of the dye. From the kinetic analysis, it was known that the intersystem crossing rate from the dye excited singlet to triplet was enhanced by CCl4. Carbon tetrachloride did not quench the triplet state. The ratio of quantum yields for the oxidation in the presence and absence of CCl4 was independent of the oxygen concentration in the reaction mixture. The fluorescence quenching constant and the intersystem crossing rate were obtained at various solubilized water contents.
