Nonfunctional metallomicelles

Almost all the kinetic studies on metaUomiceUar-mediated reactions have been carried out in the presence of either nonfunctional metallomicelles in which micellar head groups are incapable of acting as ligands for metal-ligand complex formation or induced functional metaUomiceUes in which micellar head groups act as effective ligands for metal-Ugand complex formation. 

Zeng et al. have carried out an extensive study on the effects of pure ionic and nonionic micelles on various metal-complex-catalyzed hydrolyses of activated 

Equation 6.2 and Equation 6.7 with rearrangement can lead to Equation 6.8 

Inserting Equation 6.4 and Equation 6.5 into Equation 6.2 and neglecting the high-order terms of ([M LnDM, we have 

Equation 6.10 can have different forms depending on the nature of a particular reaction. For example, when n = 1 and m = 1, Equation 6.10 may be written as

Unlike metallomicelles, fnnctional surfactant micelles compared to nonfunctional snrfactant micelles exhibit rate enhancement of many orders. The reason for snch apparent characteristic difference between the catalytic efficiency of metallomicelles and functional snrfactant micelles is the choice of the reference reactions nsed to evaluate the catalytic efficiency of metallomicelles and func-...
