Abstract

A laser multi-photon ionization technique has been applied to an interface region in two-phase systems (n -octane/water). The Laser irradiated the interface under total reflection condition from the oil phase, and the photo-ionization signal was caused by water region. Pyrene stayed at the oil/water interface, and the amount of Pyrenesulfonic acid at the interface was very small. Other aromatic molecules, naphthalene derivatives and benzene derivatives, were also applied to this technique. The pH and the surfactant dependence also exhibited that the non-ionic molecules stayed at the oil/water interface. Upon lower the pH, the protonated aromatic molecules increased and overall dissolving process decelerated. With increasing the anionic and cationic surfactant concentrations, the photo-ionization current gradually decreased. The surfactant and aromatic molecules formed into micelles in the bulk water region. Photo-ionization is a potential tool for investigating the phenomena of a two-phase system.<br>
