This volume is a collection of the presentations given at a symposium on reaction kinetics in micelles at the l64th Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Division of Colloid and Surface Science, in New York City in August of 1972. Participants in this symposium have all been active in the field of reaction kinetics in micelles during the past several years. Indeed, much of what is known in this area is the direct result of their efforts. It is hoped that this small volume will serve to summarize the current state of knowledge in this area, to point out some new directions toward which research efforts are pointed, and to induce new researchers with fresh points of view to enter this young and relatively unexplored area of chemistry. v CONTENTS List of Authors...................................... ix Recent Advances in the Chemistry of Micelles......... 1 Norbert Muller Micellar Catalysis for Carbonium Ion Reactions ••••••. 25 Jan Baumrucker, Maritza Ca1zadi11a, and E.
