Abstract

The fluorescence study was performed to see whether the adsorption orientation of 4-biphenyl acetonitrile(BPAN) on metal colloids can be changed by forming an inclusion complex with -cyclodextrin(-CD). The fluorescence quenching was observed with increasing temperature to confirm the direct adsorption of BPAN to the Au and Ag colloidal surfaces. BPAN adsorbed on the metal colloids formed inclusion complex with -CD regardless of the kinds of metal colloids. The formation constants, 32 and 13 for Au and Ag colloids respectively, were obtained with Benesi-Hildebrand plot. The molecules adsorbed on both the Au and Ag colloidal surfaces behaved similarly to each other, leading to the conclusion that the orientation of BPAN adsorbed on the metal colloids can be modified with -CD.
