Abstract

In this paper the phenomenon of a photosensitive ion complex of Brilliant Yellow and ferric ions formation in the electrolyte phase and its subsequent deposition within a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) is described. Deposition of light sensitive complex into the BLM considerably increases its mechanical stability and drastically changes its electrochemical and photoelectrical properties as well.
