Studies of photophysical processes in aqueous micellar solutions of halogen derivatives of fluorescein: Eosin( E), Erythrosin (ER) and Bengal Rose (BR) by methods of dynamic light scattering, stationary and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy were carried out. It was found that the introduction of dye molecules into reverse AOT micelles causes an increase in their hydrodynamic radii Rh.
The time-resolved fluorescence of the studied dye molecules in reverse micelles was measured. A decrease in the average time of the excited state with an increase in Rh for E, ER, and BR was found, which is associated with an increase in the mobility of water molecules and a decrease in the effect of geometric restriction of dye molecules.
The degrees of anisotropy of the fluorescence r of dye molecules in reverse micelles were measured. It was shown that in micellar systems r is greater than in aqueous solutions and decreases with increasing Rh. The rotational correlation time for the studied dye molecules in micellar systems is determined, which decreases for all the studied dyes with an increase in Rh, indicating a decrease in the microviscosity of the confined aqueous medium inside the micelle. In this case , i.e., the value of the time of the rotational correlation is affected by the "heavy atom effect".
