Abstract

UV irradiation on a Malachite Green leuconitrile derivative afforded a cationic surfactant in aqueous solutions of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate. The result involved a micelle-to-vesicle transition and encapsulation which have been investigated by trapping experiment. Transmission electron microscopy was applied for direct observation of vesicle formation. The micellar solution was studied under dark conditions with pyrene emission spectra.
