Size and shape matter for micellar catalysis using light-responsive azobenzene surfactants

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We show that the reaction conversion efficiency of a Claisen–Schmidt aldol condensation under micellar conditions in water is controlled by the shape and size of the micelle nanoreactors.
