Abstract
Visible spectra of Safranine T (ST) in anionic reverse micelle (AOT/cyclohexane/water), non-ionic reverse micelle (Igepal CO720/cyclohexane/water) and mixed reverse micelles of AOT/Igepal CO720/cyclohexane/water at different compositions and different ω (=[water]/[surfactant]) have been studied. Charge transfer band of Safranine T in reverse micellar and mixed reverse micellar medium has been isolated both in ground and excited state. Iodide ion induced dynamic quenching at low quencher concentration becomes a combination of both the dynamic and static quenching at high quencher concentration. Iodide ion induced quenching study has been used as a tool to identify the altered interface of AOT/Igepal CO720/cyclohexane/water mixed reverse micelle compared to AOT/cyclohexane/water reverse micelle. Absorption and fluorescence spectra of ST in polyethylene glycol coated interface of AOT reverse micelle has been observed to identify the role of poly(oxyethylene) group of Igepal CO720 on spectral behavior of ST in mixed reverse micelle.
