19. -), dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride. Vesicles have been prepared by the sonication methods (bath, probe). Typically, the preparation consisted of the sonic dispersion (0.015 M) in 10 mL of water using a Branson 250 sonicator or an ultrasonic bath (Lab. Supplies Co, Inc.; model G112SP1T, 600 V, 80KC, 0.5 V) at an average temperature of 55 °C, which is above the phase transition temperatures of the different vesicles; 12 °C (DDAB), 34-36 °C (DODAB). 36 °C (DODAC) taken from Okahata, Y.; Ando, R.; Kunitake, T. Ber. Bunsen-Ges. Phys. Chem. 1981, 85, 789 and references therein. We checked out the possibility of vesicle fusion (increase of turbidity) following the reaction at 250 nm. In all the cases, we did not observe any change in the absorbance.
