Abstract
Reverse micelle (RM) aggregates have a wide range of applications in various areas of science and technology. A continuous demand exists to replace interfacial surfactant molecules with various nonconventional amphiphiles. Ionic liquid (IL)-like surfactants (IL-surf's) constitute a class of such molecules that are being researched extensively. Here, we have formulated several water/IL-surf/oil microemulsions by optimizing the core droplet size with varying oil phases. The best composition of water/[BMIM][AOT]/IPM ([BMIM][AOT]: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dioctyl sulfosuccinate; IPM: isopropyl myristate) was then analyzed in detail through experimental and computer simulations. Our results from DLS measurements suggest a structural transition from spherical aggregates in the parent water/[Na][AOT]/IPM solution to cylindrical droplets in the IL-surf-based system. The Raman and ATR-FTIR spectral analysis suggest a variation in the microstructure of the water/oil interface due to the differential interaction of the counterions with AOT headgroups and water. Molecular dynamics simulation results provided the direct image of the interface showing a structured versus uneven water/oil interface in [Na][AOT] versus [BMIM][AOT] RMs, where the larger [BMIM] cations weakly bind with the AOT headgroups due to their low charge density. Finally, an application of this IL-surf-based formulation was tested by carrying out a Heck cross-coupling reaction that showed significantly higher yield under milder reaction conditions.

Abstract
The excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) of a cationic superphotoacid, N-methyl-7-hydroxyquinolium, was studied within the water pool of an anionic aerosol-OT (AOT), bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, reverse micelle (RM). Previously, we had found that the cationic photoacid residing at the anionic AOT interface was conducive to ESPT to the bound water having concentric heterogeneity on the time scale of hundreds of picoseconds to nanoseconds. In our present study, on the time scale of hundreds of femtoseconds to a few tens of picoseconds, the photoacid underwent an ultrafast ESPT influenced by mobile water constituting the core of the RM. The two subpopulations of the core water molecules that determine the ultrafast biphasic deprotonation of the photoacid on time scales differing by an order of magnitude were identified. The core water molecules solvating the counteranion of the photoacid showed a higher basicity than typical water clusters in bulk resulting in ESPT on a subpicosecond time scale. Bare water clusters sensed by the photoacid showed a slower ESPT, over several picoseconds, as typically limited by the rotational motion of water molecules for similar types of the photoacid.

Abstract
Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as neoteric, non-toxic, and inexpensive media have the potential to replace organic solvents in various aggregation processes. Conventional water-in-oil microemulsions are formed using mostly environmentally unfavorable toxic organic solvents as the bulk oil phase. Evidence of formation of water-in-DES microemulsions is presented. These novel assemblies are formed using a hydrophobic DES constituted of n-decanoic acid (DA) and tetra-n-butylammonium chloride (TBAC) in 2 : 1 mole ratio, termed TBAC-DA, as the bulk oil phase. It is observed that in the presence of a common and popular non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100), water pools are formed within TBAC-DA under ambient conditions with maximum water loading (w0 = [water]/[TX-100]) of 60 ± 3 for [TX-100] = 300 mM. The formation of the microemulsions is established by using fluorescence probe pyranine, which exhibited the appearance of a band characterizing the un-protonated form of the probe clearly implying onset of water-in-TBAC-DA microemulsion formation. The UV-vis absorbance of CoII further corroborates TX-100-assisted water pool formation within TBAC-DA via the appearance of the band that is assigned to the response of the probe in water. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement suggests average aggregate sizes to be in the range of 72(±4) to 122(±7) nm. These unprecedented water-in-DES microemulsions may have far reaching implications due to their benign nature.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a new analysis of the time resolved emission spectra of a photo-acid, HA, pyranine (8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulphonic acid, HPTS) based on time resolved area normalized emission spectra (TRANES). Presence of an isoemissive point in TRANES confirms the presence of two emissive species (HA and A- ) inside the system in bulk water and inside a co-polymer hydrogel [F127, (PEO)100 -(PPO)70 -(PEO)100 ]. We show that following electronic excitation, the local pH around HPTS, is much lower than the bulk pH presumably because of ejection of proton from the photo-acid in the excited state. With increase in time, the local pH increases and reaches the bulk value. We further, demonstrate that the excited state pKa of HPTS may be estimated from the emission intensities of HA and A- at long time. The time constant for time evolution of pH is ∼630 ps in water, ∼1300 ps in F127 gel and ∼4700 ps in CTAB micelle. The location and local viscosity sensed by the probe is ascertained using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and fluorescence anisotropy decay. The different values of the local viscosity reported by these two methods are reconciled.

Abstract
Proton transfer reactions on biosurfaces play an important role in a myriad of biological processes. Herein, the excited-state proton transfer reaction of 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (HPTS) has been investigated in the presence of an important therapeutic protein, Protamine (PrS), using ground-state absorption, steady-state, and detailed time-resolved emission measurements. HPTS forms a 1:1 complex with Protamine with a high association constant of 2.6 × 104 M-1. The binding of HPTS with Protamine leads to a significant modulation in the ground-state prototropic equilibrium causing a downward shift of 1.1 unit in the acidity constant (pKa). In contrast to a large number of reports of slow proton transfer of HPTS on biosurfaces, interestingly, HPTS registers a faster proton transfer event in the presence of Protamine as compared to that of even the bulk aqueous buffer medium. Furthermore, the dimensionality of the proton diffusion process is also significantly reduced on the surface of Protamine that is in contrast to the behavior of HPTS in the bulk aqueous buffer medium, where the proton diffusion process is three-dimensional. The effect of ionic strength on the binding of HPTS toward PrS suggests a predominant role of electrostatic interaction between anionic HPTS and cationic Protamine, which is further supported by molecular docking simulations which predict that the most preferable binding site for HPTS on the surface of Protamine is surrounded by multiple cationic arginine residues.

Abstract
To afford mechanistic studies in enzyme kinetics and protein folding in the microsecond time domain we have developed a continuous-flow microsecond time-scale mixing instrument with an unprecedented dead-time of 3.8 ± 0.3 μs. The instrument employs a micro-mixer with a mixing time of 2.7 μs integrated with a 30 mm long flow-cell of 109 μm optical path length constructed from two parallel sheets of silver foil; it produces ultraviolet-visible spectra that are linear in absorbance up to 3.5 with a spectral resolution of 0.4 nm. Each spectrum corresponds to a different reaction time determined by the distance from the mixer outlet, and by the fluid flow rate. The reaction progress is monitored in steps of 0.35 μs for a total duration of ~600 μs. As a proof of principle the instrument was used to study spontaneous protein refolding of pH-denatured cytochrome c. Three folding intermediates were determined: after a novel, extremely rapid initial phase with τ = 4.7 μs, presumably reflecting histidine re-binding to the iron, refolding proceeds with time constants of 83 μs and 345 μs to a coordinatively saturated low-spin iron form in quasi steady state. The time-resolution specifications of our spectrometer for the first time open up the general possibility for comparison of real data and molecular dynamics calculations of biomacromolecules on overlapping time scales.

Abstract
Proton transfer in the nanoscopic water channels of polyelectrolyte fuel cell membranes was studied using a photoacid, 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid sodium salt (HPTS), in the channels. The local environment of the probe was determined using 8-methoxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid sodium salt (MPTS), which is not a photoacid. Three fully hydrated membranes, Nafion (DuPont) and two 3M membranes, were studied to determine the impact of different pendant chains and equivalent weights on proton transfer. Fluorescence anisotropy and excited state population decay data that characterize the local environment of the fluorescent probes and proton transfer dynamics were measured. The MPTS lifetime and anisotropy results show that most of the fluorescent probes have a bulk-like water environment with a relatively small fraction interacting with the channel wall. Measurements of the HPTS protonated and deprotonated fluorescent bands' population decays provided information on the proton transport dynamics. The decay of the protonated band from ∼0.5 ns to tens of nanoseconds is in part determined by dissociation and recombination with the HPTS, providing information on the ability of protons to move in the channels. The dissociation and recombination is manifested as a power law component in the protonated band fluorescence decay. The results show that equivalent weight differences between two 3M membranes resulted in a small difference in proton transfer. However, differences in pendant chain structure did significantly influence the proton transfer ability, with the 3M membranes displaying more facile transfer than Nafion.

Abstract
In the present work, we have investigated the excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) dynamics inside lipid-based reverse hexagonal (HII), gyroid Ia3d, and diamond Pn3m LLC phases. Polarized light microscopy (PLM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques have been employed for the characterization of LLC systems. Time-resolved fluorescence results reveal the retarded ESPT dynamics inside liquid crystalline systems compared to bulk water, and it follows the order HII < Ia3d < Pn3m < H2O. The slower solvation, hampered "Grotthuss" proton transfer process, and most importantly, topological influence, of the LLC systems are believed to be mainly responsible for the slower and different extent of ESPT dynamics. Interestingly, recombination dynamics is found to be faster with respect to bulk water and it follows the order H2O < Pn3m < Ia3d < HII. Faster recombination dynamics arises due to lower dielectric constant and different channel diameters of these LLC systems. However, the dissociation dynamics is found to be slower than bulk water and it follows the order HII < Ia3d < Pn3m < H2O. Differences in critical packing parameter of LLC systems are believed to be the governing factors for the slower dissociation dynamics in these liquid crystalline systems.

Abstract
Brij-35, a common and popular nonionic surfactant, is shown to form water-in-ionic liquid (w/IL) microemulsions with IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]) as the bulk phase. The presence of w/[bmim][PF6] microemulsions is hinted by the significantly increased solubility of water in Brij-35 solution of [bmim][PF6]. The formation of w/[bmim][PF6] microemulsions by Brij-35 is confirmed using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements. Brij-35 forms reverse micelle-type aggregates within [bmim][PF6] in the absence of added-water. These reverse micelles become w/[bmim][PF6] microemulsions as the water is added to the system. As the water loading (w0) is increased, the average diameter of the aggregates increases. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorbance data reveal the presence of both "bound" and "free" water within the system. The "bound" water is associated with the water pools of the w/[bmim][PF6] microemulsions. Excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) involving probe pyranine shows deprotonation of pyranine within the water pools of the w/[bmim][PF6] microemulsions.

Abstract
Supercritical (sc) CO2 and ionic liquids (ILs) are very attractive green solvents with tunable properties. Using scCO2 and ILs as alternatives of conventional solvents (water and oil) for forming amphiphile self-assemblies has many advantages. For example, the properties and structures of the amphiphile self-assemblies in these solvents can be easily modulated by tuning the properties of solvents; scCO2 has excellent solvation power and mass-transfer characteristics; ILs can dissolve both organic and inorganic substances and their properties are designable to satisfy the requirements of various applications. Therefore, the amphiphile self-assemblies in scCO2 and ILs have attracted considerable attention in recent years. This review describes the advances of using scCO2 or/and ILs as amphiphile self-assembly media in the last decade. The amphiphile self-assemblies in scCO2 and ILs are first reviewed, followed by the discussion on combination of scCO2 and ILs in creating microemulsions or emulsions. Some future directions on the amphiphile self-assemblies in scCO2 and ILs are highlighted.

Abstract
Excited-state intermolecular proton transfer of D-luciferin in reverse micelles has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurement. The different polar cores have been chosen for the study of proton transfer dynamics in aerosol-OT (AOT) reverse micelles. It is shown that aqueous reverse micelle is the suitable environment for the photoprotolytic reaction of D-luciferin. The neutral form of the chromophore is present both in ground and excited state at W0 = 0. The proton transfer in nanometer size water pool of water/AOT/n-heptane begins at W0 = 8 and increases with increasing W0 values. However, the intermolecular excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) of D-luciferin is inhibited in nonaquous reverse micelles with DMF and DMSO as a polar core. Thus, the requirement of ESPT of D-luciferin to take place in reverse micelles consists of polar protic solvent like water as a polar core.

Abstract
No fluorescence emission of the naphtholate anion is observed from ionic liquids with an imidazolium cation containing a C2 hydrogen (C2-H). This is attributed to the formation of a "dark" complex between the imidazolium cation and the excited naphtholate anion.

Abstract
In this feature article, we discuss recent advances in studying ultrafast dynamic and structural aspects of host-guest interactions. Steady-state and time-resolved techniques exploring events from the femto- to nanosecond regime were used to examine the ultrafast photodynamics and subsequent events in selected nanostructures of the formed complexes. These consist of aromatic systems, biologically relevant molecules, and drugs trapped within cyclodextrins (CD) and human serum albumin (HSA) protein pockets. We examine the effects exerted by these chemical and biological cavitands on internal twisting motions, proton transfer and charge transfer, and cis-trans isomerization reactions that may occur in the confined molecular systems. In addition, the influence of a restricting environment on the interaction of guest molecules with biological water is considered. The dynamic details of the complexes (diffusion, early interactions, formation, stability, internal guest diffusion, and conformational changes) and the excited-state relaxation pathways, rate constants of the involved processes, and changes in the electronic distribution within encapsulated guests gave clues to elucidate their photobehavior and are relevant to the photostability and delivery of drugs when using nanocarriers.

Abstract
In this paper, we explore the role of microscopic heterogeneity of the medium on the spectral response of an excited-state proton-transfer (ESIPT) probe, namely, 4-methyl-2,6-dicarbomethoxyphenol (CMOH) using steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy. The mixtures of two solvents with widely different properties, viz., cyclohexane, a nonpolar, and ethanol, a polar protic solvent, were used as microheterogeneous media for spectroscopic studies. Dual fluorescence (normal and tautomer fluorescence) is observed in the nonpolar solvent (cyclohexane), while only a single peak is observed in the protic solvent, ethanol. The spectral responses of CMOH in the binary mixtures have been found to be dependent on the solvent composition and excitation wavelength. The emission spectral properties of CMOH in the cyclohexane-ethanol mixture have been seen to be superposition of spectral properties in their bulk counterparts, indicating the presence of microscopic heterogeneity in the system. A zwitterionic species of CMOH appears to have been detected in binary solvent mixtures with higher ethanol content only through low-energy excitations. The species is converted into an anionic species as excitation energy increases. Density functional theory calculations indicate that two intramolecularly hydrogen bonded rotamers of CMOH have a small energy difference. The formation of a hydrogen bonded 1:1 molecular cluster of CMOH with ethanol has been investigated in the ground state at the same level of theory. Our findings are expected to shed light on the mechanism of many acid-base reactions occurring in microscopically inhomogeneous media that often mimic many biologically relevant processes.
