Abstract
The properties of the water network in concentrated HCl acid pools in nanometer-sized reverse non-ionic micelles were probed with TeraHertz absorption, dielectric relaxation spectroscopy, and reactive force field simulations capable of describing proton hopping mechanisms. We identify that only at a critical micelle size of W0=9 do solvated proton complexes form in the water pool, accompanied by a change in mechanism from Grotthuss forward shuttling to one that favors local oscillatory hopping. This is due to a preference for H+ and Cl- ions to adsorb to the micelle interface, together with an acid concentration effect that causes a "traffic jam" in which the short-circuiting of the hydrogen-bonding motif of the hydronium ion decreases the forward hopping rate throughout the water interior even as the micelle size increases. These findings have implications for atmospheric chemistry, biochemical and biophysical environments, and energy materials, as transport of protons vital to these processes can be suppressed due to confinement, aggregation, and/or concentration.

Abstract
Reverse micelles (RMs) as soft templates have been successfully used in tailoring the structural characteristics (size and morphology) of nanomaterials that in turn have been used in various applications. In this work, we have focused on the local perturbations in the different interior domains of the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-reverse micelle-based soft template en route to nanorod formation by monitoring the solvation response of coumarin-based solvatochromic probes (C343 and C153). We have observed an appreciable retardation of the solvent coordinate during the initial phases of nanorod growth, which we have attributed to the reorientational motion of the water molecules lodged in the interfacial region. Moreover, these rigid nanostructures leave their imprints on the soft interfacial layer as was observed from the direct correlation in the solvation response of RM-containing nanostructures and respective surfactant aggregates in supernatant solution. Supporting data from time-resolved anisotropy studies further reinforced our conclusions from the solvation experiments. Our study proves that the hydration dynamics can be a promising tool in tracking the heterogeneous growth evolution of nanostructure formation in RMs since solvent reorganization provides insights into the intrinsic, molecular-level features of the micellar assemblies.

Abstract
Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/hexanol reverse micelles have found a variety of applications that demand control over physical parameters. Water content or loading is among the most basic tunable components and is the major driver of the physical properties of these systems. This study uses small-angle scattering with contrast variation to characterize these systems as a function of water loading. The scattering data were analyzed with a variety of approaches, resulting in converging physical specifications. Equations that describe basic physical parameters were determined that allow for characterization and manipulation of the CTAB/hexanol reverse micelle surfactant system. The shape of the reverse micelles was revealed to be slightly ellipsoidal and varies slightly through the water loading range. The surfactant shell is shown to contain a higher fraction of hexanol upon addition of water. Analysis reveals that the size, shape, and surfactant/cosurfactant composition are directly tunable by variation of the water content and that these properties are consequences of the balance of forces present in the reverse micelles.

Abstract
The excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) rate of photo-acids in a confined medium depends on several physical parameters of the immediate environment. We introduce a new parameter in the form of charge type at the interface of reverse micellar (RM) systems to modulate the ESPT rate. We investigate the ESPT reaction of d-luciferin in mixed RM systems composed of nonionic polyoxyethylene(5)nonylphenylether (Igepal CO-520) with cationic didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) and anionic sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) in cyclohexane (Cy) at different mole fractions of Ig (X Ig) and fixed hydration. ESPT is feeble in AOT RM, whereas it is favorable in the other two RMs. Addition of Ig is observed to facilitate ESPT in AOT RM linearly, whereas in DDAB, it shows a synergistic effect. The various physical parameters of water in the mixed RM water pool have been investigated using dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurements to underline the ESPT mechanism in these mixed RMs.
