Popis: The effects of anionic, cationic, and nonionic micelles on the dynamics of proton transfer in the ground and excited state of anthocyanins have been examined employing the 4-methyl-7-hydroxyflavylium ion (HMF) as a model compound. Unlike other anthocyanins and anthocyanin analogues, HMF does not hydrate in water, allowing study of the acid−base (AH+/A) equilibrium in the absence of competing hydration or tautomerism reactions. Anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles are found to stabilize the acid form of HMF, AH+, relative to A, while both cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride and nonionic Triton X-100 and Brij 35 micelles stabilize A more than AH+. Stabilization in SDS is reflected in the decrease of the deprotonation rate constant (ca. 40-fold relative to water), while destabilization in cationic and nonionic micelles is evidenced by a decrease in the protonation rate of A. Surprisingly, HMF is no longer resistant to hydration in cationic and nonionic micelles. Thus, one can manipulate the...
