The inclusion of acridinedione dyes (ADR) with β-cyclodextrins (β-CD) in the presence of 0.6% methanol is studied using absorption and fluorescence techniques. The association constant was determined by using the Benesi−Hildebrand plot and also by nonlinear regression analysis. A stoichiometry of 1:1 was found for β-CD/ADR (3 − 5). The nonobservation of the changes in the absorption or the fluorescence in the case of dyes 1 and 2 clearly indicates that the phenyl substituent at the −N atom in the ADR (3 − 5) is included in the β-CD cavity. Thermodynamic parameters ΔH and ΔS values obtained from the temperature-dependent binding constants of the β-CD/ADR (3 − 5) system are reported. In the presence of β-CD, the fluorescence of ADR (4) dye shows single exponential decay, consistent with the completion of complex formation, and ADR (3, 5) showed a double exponential decay, consistent with the equilibrium between free and complexed forms. The binding constants and thermodynamic factors are systematically resolved through lifetime analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
