Synthetic micelle sensitive to IR light via a two-photon process.
A micellar assembly of molecules constituted of poly(ethylene glycol) as the hydrophilic component and 2-diazo-1,2-naphthoquinone as the hydrophobic component was shown to be destroyed in a two-photon photoreaction triggered by infrared light with release of an encapsulated fluorescent probe molecule.
