An organic reaction between two populations of vesicles , one containing a nucleophile (blue) and the other an electrophile (red), was examined kinetically (see scheme). By comparing the rates with those of suitable controls, it was demonstrated that the electrophile is transferred during vesicle collisions, and a fast intra‐vesicular reaction ensues.
