[Investigation on the spectral characteristics and existing state of a substituted 3H-indole molecular probe in triton X-100 reverse micelle].

The interactions between a fluorescent molecular probe, i. e., [2-(p-hexylamino) phenyl-3, 3-dimethyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3H-indole] methyldioctadecylammonium iodide (A) and Triton X-100/heptane/hexanol/water reverse micelle have been investigated by spectroscopy. Micropolarity of the environment, fluorescence anisotropy parameter and the pH effect of A in Triton X-100 reverse micelle were determined. Furthermore, the state of water in reverse micellar systems was studied by FTIR. According to the above experimental results, some information on the structure of Triton X-100 reverse micelle was obtained and the probable site of A in this system was discussed.
