Abstract
A 1:1 inclusion complex between p-(N,N-diphenylamino)benzoic acid methyl ester (DPABME) molecule and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) in aqueous solution is formed with a stabilization constant of ca. 45.65 ± 3.59 M−1 at 25 °C. The formation of the complex is accompanied by enhancement of the long wavelength fluorescence at 510 nm (attributed to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) due to twisting) relative to the normal fluorescence at 420 nm. In water, the long-wavelength fluorescence is hidden under the red tail of the normal fluorescence band due to quenching by non-radiative transition. Inclusion by CD reduces quenching and thus constitutes a driving force for DPABME to emit at longer wavelength via ICT process.
