Abstract ESR linewidth of tetradecanoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-l-oxyl was observed in aqueous solutions of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium alkyl (C12 and C14) sulfates at 30 °C. The linewidth increases quadratically with the spin probe concentration to various extents, depending upon micellar properties. The diversity of the linewidth broadening is, however, reduced by plotting the relative linewidth, W/W0, vs. the average solubilization number, m, where W0 is the linewidth at the extremely dilute spin probe concentration. All the experimental points fall on a curve regardless of the diverse micellar properties. The broadening is interpreted in terms of a bimolecular and multimolecular collisions between the spin probes exclusively concentrated in micelles in accordance with the Poisson distribution of the spin probe.
