Kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis of crystal violet (CV) in micelles, reverse micelles and microemulsions of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was studied at 25 ± 0.1 oC using spectrophotometric method. The rate of alkaline hydrolysis of CV was catalyzed by micellar solutions of CTAB. The pseudo first order rate constant (k') has been found to decrease upon incorporation of 1-butanol to cationic CTAB micelles, which displaces the substrate from the micellar into the aqueous phase. In CTAB/cyclohexane/1-butanol/water system, as the content of 1-butanol increases, specific conductivity and density of the microemulsions and reverse micelles decrease. The change in physical properties also causes change in reaction environment. A change from a micelle-rich (o/w) to a reverse micelle-rich (w/o) condition is apparent for microemulsions and consequently the k' vs. % wt. of 1-butanol profiles show an initial decrease in the k' followed by a gradual increase and finally, to a sharp increase with increasing 1-butanol content. Microemulsions and reverse micelles thus offer the potential to control rate of a reaction by formation of micelles in water phase and reverse micelles in oil phase.

Kinetics of the acid hydrolysis of bromazepam (Bz) has been investigated in micelles, reverse micelles, and microemulcions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by spectrophotometric method. The rate of the acid hydrolysis of Bz was found to be enhanced both below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of CTAB in aqueous solution. The pseudo-first-order rate constant (k′) shows an initial decrease for both low and high H+concentrations. With further increase in [CTAB], at low [H+], thek′attains an almost constant value, while, at high [H+], thek′passes through a maximum and then decreases. The kinetic data for catalysis by micelles of CTAB was interpreted with the pseudophase ion exchange (PIE) model. In CTAB/cyclohexane/1-butanol/water microemulsions, as the water to surfactant ratio (wo) increases, the physicochemical properties and droplet sizes of microemulsions significantly change and distinct changes in reaction environment can be marked. The rate of the hydrolysis reaction exhibits excellent correlation with the physicochemical properties and droplet sizes of the microemulsions and reverse micelles of CTAB. At [H+] = 0.001 M, in reverse micelles and microemulsions of CTAB, thek′of the acid hydrolysis of Bz decreases sharply followed by a slight increase with increasingwo.

Kinetic study of the reaction between p-Nitrophenyl benzoate (PNPB) by hydrazine (HYN) in the presence of Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/Chloroform/Hexane reverse micellar medium shows that the reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to each of the reactants. The rate of the reaction is much slower in reverse micellar medium compared to aqueous medium under identical conditions (kˈAq = 2.84×10−3 sec−1, krm =1.34×10−4 sec−1). The rate constants for the reaction in the reverse micellar medium have been determined at different values of W {W=[H2O]/[CTAB]} and at different concentrations of CTAB. It was found that the observed rate constant decreases with W. This kinetic behaviour was interpreted by using modified Berezin pseudo phase model, taking into consideration the distribution of the reactants, PNPB and hydrazine between the three pseudo phases, i.e., water pool, interface an organic phase.

Nanoparticles (1-100 nm) of semiconductors and metals have shown some unique optical, electric and magnetic and catalytic properties which are greatly different from their bulk materials. Recently the use of these nanoparticles as quantum dots in nanoelectronics requires their arrangement in one, two, and three dimensions (1D, 2D and 3D). Therefore more attention has been paid to the organization of these nanoparticles into ordered arrays in order to achieve novel collective properties. Gold colloids have been well studied for its self-organization in several systems. Here we present 1D, 2D and 3D gold self-organization nanostructure generated from reverse micelles (microemulsion system).Gold nanoparticles were prepared by the reduction of HAuCU in CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide)/Octane+l-Butanol/H2O microemusion system using NaBH4 as the reducing agent. Typically, 0.3g of CTAB, 0.148ml of 0.056M HAuCl4 aqueous solution, l.Og octane (surfactant) and 0.25g 1-butanol (cosurfactant) were mixed together and stirred vigorously for 10 min until a homogenous phase was obtained.
