The fluorescence depolarization dynamics of organic fluorescent dye probes (nile red, cresyl violet, DODCI, rhodamine B, and rhodamine DPPE) were studied in cationic, anionic, and neutral micelles by picosecond time-resolved single-photon-counting technique. The fluorescence anisotropy decay of the dye intercalated inside the micelle is a two-exponential function. The anisotropy decay was interpreted by using a model of rotational (wobbling) and translational diffusion of the dye in the micelle coupled with the rotational motion of the micelle as a whole. The rotational and translational diffusion coefficients of the dye, the order parameter, and the semicone angle for the wobbling diffusion in the micelle were determined. The concept of “microviscosity” in the micelle was critically discussed in the light of the rotational and translational diffusion coefficients and their temperature dependence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
