Abstract

Conclusion Kinetics of proton transfer in reversed micelles brings interesting information on the relation between structure and reactivity and permits a better understanding of the acidity in the aqueous core and an evaluation of the water activity. In the present work, fluorescence probing around the center of the water pool reveals that the proton-transfer efficiency and the water activity become similar to those in bulk water beyond a water content of w-12. ...
