The effects of cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), hexadecylpyridinum chloride (HDPC) and anionic sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) surfactants on dissociation constants and transition intervals of methyl red, methyl orange and cresol red were studied spectrophotometrically. The results show that all studied indicators

The reactions between HSA and acidic phenolsulfonphthaleins, including phenol red, cresol red, chlorophenol red, bromocresol purple and m-cresol purple, have been investigated by fluorescence spectrometry. The experiments showed that all of the selected acidic phenolsulfonphthaleins strongly quenched the fluorescence produced
