Solvation dynamics of Coumarin 153 in aqueous and non-aqueous reverse micelles

Solvation dynamics of coumarin 480 in neutral (TX-100), anionic (SDS), and cationic (CTAB) water-in-oil microemulsions

“…There are numerous studies related to solvation dynamics in AOT reverse micelles [21,22,25,26]. A very slow nanosecond component exists in most of these solvation dynamics measurements [21,22,25,26].…”

Optical transition rates of a meso-substituted thiacarbocyanine in methanol-in-oil reverse micelles

“…Solvation dynamics of water and non-aqueous polar solvents in reverse micelles were demonstrated to depend on the molar ratio of solvent to surfactant [2,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. Shirota and Horie reported that the solvation dynamics were retarded by up to four orders of magnitude because of the presence of hydrogen-bonding network in reverse micelles [10].…”

“…The methanol-in-oil (m/o) dispersions were prepared using w 0 ¼ 2; 4 and 6, where w 0 is the molar ratio of dispersed methanol to surfactant [10,[12][13]. In the case of water-in oil microemulsions, w 0 values can be incorporated into an empirical formula to determine the radii of dispersed water droplets in oil [20].…”

Solvent relaxation of a room-temperature ionic liquid [bmim][PF6] confined in a ternary microemulsion

“…The time-resolved fluorescence setup was described in detail in our earlier publication. 56 Briefly, the samples were excited at 408 nm using a picosecond diode laser (IBH), and the signals were collected at magic angle (54⋅7°) polarization using a Hamamatsu microchannel plate photomultiplier tube (3809U). The instrument response function of our setup is ~90 ps.…”
