Rate constants kiso of the thermal cis-trans isomerization of four 4,4′-nitro-aminoazobenzenes with different amino groups have been determined in homogeneous aprotic solvents and polyglykol oligomers, primarily by means of conventional flash photolysis. The rate constants have been correlated with polarity (according to λmax from UV/Vis absorption spectra of the trans isomers) and bulk viscosity of the solvents. Qualitative conclusions about the influence of varying concentrations of water with respect to polarity and hydrogen bonding on kiso- and λmax-values in acetone/water mixtures were derived. Based on these results the data from microheterogeneous solutions have been interpreted. In microheterogeneous water/surfactant solutions kiso-values of selected azo dyes were strongly dependent on the concentrations of SDS, Triton X-100, C12EO8 in water, and varied with the composition of bicontinuous microemulsions of Igepal CA-520/heptane/water. The large spread of isomerization rate constants is in part due to varying microviscosity. Replacement of H2O by D2O in aqueous surfactant solutions produced surprisingly large kinetic solvent isotope effects.
