doi: 10.3390/molecules26010019

Figure Lengend Snippet: Dependence of the position of the peak maximum of the trans isomer, λ max , on the ionic strength c S for two different salts, NaBr and NaAc, and the polymer PAA. The gray dashed line in the plot shows the shift in the presence of NaCl, as taken from our previous publication .

Article Snippet: Poly (acrylic acid) partial sodium salt, NaBr and NaAc were purchased from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and used without further purification.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Rate constants for the forward ( k TC , solid points) and reverse ( k CT , hollow points) reactions plotted against the concentrations of different salts depicted in the legends during irradiation with ( a ) UV and ( b ) blue light. The orange and pink dashed lines illustrate the critical micelle concentration (CMC) for NaBr and NaAc, respectively.
