520 |a We give a detailed confocal fluorescence microscopy study on reverse vesicles from a salt-free catanionic surfactant system. When tetradecyltrimethylammonium laurate (TTAL) and lauric acid (LA) are mixed in cyclohexane at the presence of a small amount of water, stable reverse vesicular phases form spontaneously. The reverse vesicular phases can be easily labeled with dyes of varying molecular size and hydrophobicity while the dyes are nearly insoluble in cyclohexane without reverse vesicles. This indicates the reverse vesicular phases can be good candidates to host guest molecules. With the help of a fluorescence microscope combined a confocal method, the features of these interesting reverse supramolecular self-assemblies were revealed for the first time. Because of the absence of electrostatic repulsions and hydration forces between adjacent vesicles, the reverse vesicles have a strong propensity to aggregate with each other and form three-dimensional clusters. The size distributions of both individual reverse vesicles and clusters are polydisperse. Huge multilamellar reverse vesicles with closely stacked thick walls (giant reverse onions) were observed. Besides the spherical reverse vesicles and onions, other supramolecular structures such as tubes have also been detected and structural evolutions between different structures were noticed. These interesting supramolecular self-assemblies form in a nonpolar organic solvent may serve as ideal micro- or nanoreaction centers for biological reactions and synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials
