Abstract

The quantum yields of the lucigenin light reaction in didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) are affected by the presence of Mg(OH)2; a 35% increase is observed in lamellar and a 65% increase in vesicular aggregates. The system is insensitive to benzyl alcohol. The quantum yields inDDAB versus those in water, as a function of temperature show a slope change in the region of the phase transition in lamelar aggregates. This effect is far less pronounced in vesicular aggregates. In contrast to theDDAB aggregates, anionic sodium dimethyldidodecylphosphate (SDDP) sonicated aggregates are associated with lower quantum yields and no apparent slope change in the region of the phase transition.

Zusammenfassung

Die Quantenausbeuten der Lichtreaktion von Lucigenin in Didodecyldimethylammoniumbromid (DDAB) werden durch die Gegenwart von Mg(OH)2 beeinflußt. Es wird 35% Verstärkung in lamellaren und 65% Verstärkung in vesicularen Aggregaten beobachtet. Das System ist Benzylalkohol gegenüber unempflindlich. Eine Gegenüberstellung der Quantenausbeuten inDDAB bzw. in Wasser als eine Funktion der Temperatur zeigt eine Änderung des Anstiegs im Bereich des Phasenüberganges bei lamellaren Aggregaten. Dieser Effekt ist in vesicularen Aggregaten nicht so ausgeprägt. Im Gegensatz zu denDDAB-Aggregaten sind die beschallten anionischen Natriumdimethyldodecylphosphat (SDDP)-Aggregate durch geringere Quantenausbeuten und keine offensichtlichen Anstiegsänderungen im Bereich des Phasenüberganges gekennzeichnet.
