Abstract
From UV–vis spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry it is demonstrated the interaction of dopamine, DA, and ascorbic acid, AA, with β-cyclodextrin, βCD, in aqueous media at pH 3.0. The formation constants of the respective inclusion complexes were also determined. The spectrophotometry data fed into the data processing software SQUAD, allowed calculation of the said constants for the AA–βCD complex (H2AA–βCD) giving a value of 3236 M−1, while for the dopamine complex DA–βCD (H3DA+βCD) this was 5888 M−1. From these results, the theoretical absorption spectra were generated which fitted quite well the experimental ones, thus indicating clearly that the constants are reliable. Moreover, from the cyclic voltammetry data, the stated constants were also calculated whereby that of the H2AA–βCD gave a value of 3981 M−1 while for the dopamine complex DA–βCD (H3DA+βCD) it was 4898 M−1. It is noteworthy to say that these values were similar to those found through spectrophotometry.
