Electron-Transfer Equilibria and Kinetics of N-Alkylphenothiazines in Micellar Systems

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100155a050

The kinetics and equilibria of electron transfer between N-alkylphenothiazines (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, butyl, dodecyl) and aquoiron (III)/(II) in the presence of various micellar forming surfactants (hexadecyltrimethylammonium methanesulfonate, sodium dodecylsulfate, and Triton X(100) were investigated.The presence of the micelles strongly affects rates and equilibria, and the dependence of these changes on the hydrophobicity of the alkyl chain is examined.
