Popis: Five para-alkyl substituted phenols have been studied as solutes in two chemically different type II DM mesophases. The degrees of order for the aromatic ring, are not significantly affected by the different short alkyl chains, showing that the anchoring of the -OH group at the aqueous interface is the dominant determinant of local motion. The principal change in the diagonal degrees of order between the chemically different mesophases resides in the change in size of disc micelles with consequent changes in their motional freedom. The anchoring of the phenol -OH at the aqueous interface shows little or no perturbation from the chemical variation of neighboring amphiphiles in the micelle bilayer.
