gets perturbed in self-assemblies. Herein, we attempt to unveil the photophysical alterations
in highly luminescent carbon dots (CDs) with menadione (MQ-Vitamin K3), in homogeneous
aqueous medium and nonionic Brij-35 self-assemblies. With a series of steady-state and
time-resolved studies, we report photoinduced electron transfer between the CDs and MQ
for Brij-35. Host-guest-like encapsulation in micelles can severely deter the diffusion …
