The inhomogeneity of the micellar aggregate also affords assisted spin trapping and the exploitation of magnetic field effects on the charge separated ion pairs [48]. Optical modulation spectroscopy can be used, for example, to follow the decay of radicals formed in homogeneous solution and in SDS micelles. Enhancements of a factor of about 50 in the lifetimes and the steady state concentrations of the radical were observed in the micelle, and a kinetic analysis led to a value of 2 x 103 s 1 for the exit rate constant from the micelle [49].
