The formation of micelles of the local anaesthetic heptacainium chloride (substance, XIX) in aqueous solution was investigated by the pyrene absorption and the pyrene I 1 /I 3 ratio methods, respectively by optical density (OD) method for surface curvature measurement. First, the absorption spectroscopy in UV/VIS region was based on studying changes in characteristic absorption spectrum of pyrene in presence of surfactant. The resultant plot of the sum of absorbances for the entire key pyrene maximum as a function of the total surfactant concentration showed, in the region of the critical micellar concentration, a usual sigmoidal increase. The fluorescence emission spectroscopy in UV/VIS region of spectrum by the probe pyrene, second procedure, was applied for determination of the cmc from the detections of the pyrene I 1 /I 3 ratio as a function of the surfactant concentration.
