This paper focuses on the solution of attaining the maximum efficiency of proton phototransfer reactions and stabilizing the primary products of the photoreaction which are rich in energy. The authors investigated the protolytic reaction of 1-hydroxypyrene in CTAB micelles in the first singlet-excited state with the acetate anion. In the presence of the acetate anion in an aqueous micellar solution of CTAB, the efficiency of the protolytic reaction increases sharply. However, the value of the rate of the back reaction is close to the diffusion value.
