Rotational Dynamics of Cyclodextrin Complexes

In an effort to understand how cyclodextrins (CD’s) include guests we:

Cyclodextrins

PRODAN

Effect of Solvent Polarity on PRODAN Fluorescence

PRODAN fluorescence changes little as _-CD is added.

PRODAN fluorescence becomes more intense and shifts slightly blue as _-CD is added.

PRODAN fluorescence increases in intensity and shifts “way-blue” as _-CD is added.
