Investigations of spectral and luminescent properties of neutral and ionic phenol and <Emphasis Type="Italic">PARA</Emphasis>-chlorophenol forms in aqueous micellar solutions

Special features of the absorption and fluorescence spectra of phenols (phenol and para-chlorophenol) in alkalized and acidified aqueous-micellar solutions are studied. It is established that the absorption band of the anionic phenol form is formed in aqueous-alkali media in the presence of ionogenic surfactants. The fluorescence intensity of the anionic phenol form solubilized in micelles is higher than that in water.__________Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 76–80, November, 2004.
