A direct imaging of amphiphilic catalysts assembled at the interface of emulsion droplets using fluorescence microscopy.
An amphiphilic fluorescent catalyst Q9[EuW10O36] (Q = [(C18H37)2N+ (CH3)2]), assembled in the interface of emulsion systems, was directly imaged by fluorescence microscopy; the catalyst shows high selectivity and activity in the oxidation of alcohols using H2O2 as oxidant and the catalyst can be easily separated and recycled by demulsifying.
