Quantum yield values for the decomposition of several surface-active photoreactive amphiphiles.
The quantum yield values for the decomposition of 12-azido-1-diazo-2-dodecanone, 1-diazo-11-dodecanone, 1-diazo-17-octadecen-2-one, stearoyl azide and 10-undecenyl azidoformate in hexane were determined. It was found that the compounds decomposed with relatively high quantum yields, suggesting their use in biological applications, especially for binding phospholipids to membrane proteins.
