Abstract
The pressure dependence of the formation and dissociation rate constants of the inclusion reaction between beta-cyclodextrin and phenolphthalein was investigated with a newly constructed high-pressure temperature-jump apparatus. The jump height of temperature was 2.8 degrees C within 1 microsecond under pressure up to 2,000 kg/cm2. The reaction was analyzed as a simple reversible bimolecular reaction. The activation volume was 1.78 +/- 0.85 cm3/mol for the forward reaction and 10.65 +/- 1.40 cm3/mol for the backward reaction. The values of activation volumes suggest that desolvation from the phenolphthalein molecule and release of hydrating water molecules from the beta-cyclodextrin cavity occur at the transition state.
