TLDR
In this article, the photoreduction of methyl viologene by ZnTPP triplet excited states was studied in mixed micelles containing the functional surfactant JV-dodecyl, N-methyl viologenes (C12MV2+) as one and Cetyltrimethylammoniumchloride (CTAC) as the other component.
Abstract
— The photoreduction of methyl viologene by ZnTPP triplet excited states was studied in mixed micelles containing the functional surfactant JV-dodecyl, N-methyl viologene (C12MV2+) as one and Cetyltrimethylammoniumchloride (CTAC) as the other component. Using the laser photolysis technique the kinetics of the redox reaction were studied at various CTAC/C12MV2+ ratios. The average time for the electron transfer decreases linearly with the C12MV2+ occupancy. The back transfer from C12MV2+ to ZnTPP2+ can be intercepted if a donor such as NADH is cosolubilized in the micelle. In such a system irreversible methyl viologene reduction is achieved which in the presence of a suitable redox catalyst can be used to produce hydrogen from water.
