2003

The heat capacities of transfer (ΔCpt) of hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (0.05 mol kg-1) from water to aqueous solutions of sodium hexanoate, sodium decanoate, and so...

Nanoparticle Vesicles Through Self Assembly of Cyclodextrin- and Adamantyl-Modified Silica

2010

Stable nanoparticle vesicles were for the first time prepared from adamantyl- and cyclodextrin (CD)-modified silica nanoparticles forming host-guest interactions in aqueous solution. Adamantyl-functionalized nanoparticles were obtained from thiol-isocyanate reaction of thiol-modified nanoparticles with 1-adamantyl isocyanate. The CD modified silica particles were isolated from a reaction of mono-6-para-toluenesulfonyl-β-cyclodextrin with the thiol functionalized silica under microwave conditions in basic media. The obtained particles were characterized in respect of agglomeration and self-assembly behavior in aqueous solution by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy.…

Water-soluble, cyclodextrin-functionalized semiconductor nanocrystals: Preparation and pH-dependent aggregation and emission properties

2009

Abstract Using peramino-functionalized β-cyclodextrin molecules for phase.transfer of hydrophobic CdSe multishell nanocrystals into water, we obtained hydrophilic nanoparticles with high quantum yield (up to 50%). At pH > 9, the aqueous solution of these nanocrystals remained stable for several months. The nanoparticles showed a strong influence of the pH of the aqueous solution on the emission of the nanocrystals: the quantum yield varied reversible from ∼10% at pH=6 to ∼50% at pH=14, an effect which according to particle size characterization by dynamic light-scattering and asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation has mainly been attributed to reversible partial aggregation of the hydroph…

Cyclodextrins in polymer chemistry: Influence of methylated β-cyclodextrin as host on the free radical copolymerization reactivity ratios of isoborny…

1999

Methylated β-cyclodextrin (me-β-CD) was used to complex the hydrophobic monomers isobornyl acrylate (1) and butyl acrylate (2) yielding the water-soluble host/guest complexes isobornyl acrylate/me-β-CD (1a) and butyl acrylate/me-β-CD (2a). The included monomers were copolymerized in water by free-radical mechanism and the kinetics were studied. In order to evaluate these results, the corresponding uncomplexed monomers 1 and 2 were also copolymerized in organic solution. The reactivity ratios of 1a and 2a (r1a = 0.3, r2a = 1.7) differ significantly from the reactivity ratios of the corresponding uncomplexed acrylates 1 and 2 in organic solution (r1 = 1.3, r2 = 1.0). In addition, we found tha…

Supramolecular assemblies of phenyl-pyridyl-triazolopyridine and β-cyclodextrin as sensor of divalent cations in aqueous solution

2014

The chemosensor 3-phenyl-7-(pyrid-2-yl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (PhPTP) used in combination with two different cyclodextrins, enable its solubilization and stabilization in aqueous solution. The behavior of the inclusion complex, and its binding ability in both cyclodextrins were investigated by means of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The best results were obtained for PhPTP-DMβCD assembly, and its orientation in the DMβCD nano cavity was obtained by 2D-NMR. This inclusion geometry was confirmed by docking studies. The binary complex was proved as chemosensor upon the presence of different divalent cations in aqueous solutions. The PhPTP-DMβCD system, displays a high sensi…

Complexation of phosphine ligands with peracetylated β-cyclodextrin in supercritical carbon dioxide: Effect of temperature and cosolvent on the equil…

2009

Abstract The interaction between peracetylated-β-cyclodextrin and tert-butyl and adamantyl functionalized triphenylphosphine derivatives was studied in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) based solvent media by UV–vis spectroscopy. The equilibrium constant for a 1:1 complexation reaction was obtained from titration spectra both in pure carbon dioxide and in the presence of methanol as a cosolvent in the temperature range 308–323 K to estimate the internal energy and entropy of the inclusion equilibrium. The values of the equilibrium constants were found significantly smaller than those obtained in aqueous solution with analogous phosphines and substantially independent of the nature of t…

Chiral separation of ephedrines by liquid chromatography using β-cyclodextrins

2001

β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) have been evaluated as chiral recognition agents for the enantioseparation of ephedrines by liquid chromatography (LC). The compounds tested were norephedrine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, N-methylephedrine and N-methylpseuoephedrine. Two possibilities have been investigated, the employment of a chiral stationary phase consisting of immobilized β-cyclodextrin, and the addition of the chiral selector to the mobile phase. In the latter approach the following chiral agents have been assayed, native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD), carboxyethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CE-β-CD), carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD)…

Thermodynamic Properties of Sodium n-Alkanecarboxylates in Water and in Water + Cyclodextrins Mixtures

1998

Densities and heat capacities of water−substrate, water−cyclodextrin, and water−substrate−cyclodextrin systems were determined at 298 K. The substrates studied are sodium n-alkanecarboxylates (CnCOONa) (from sodium acetate to sodium decanoate) and the cyclodextrins are hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, (HP-β-CD), hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of CnCOONa in water were calculated as functions of concentration. The standard partial molar properties agree with those obtained by using the additivity rule. HP-β-CD essentially does not affect the thermodynamic properties of C1COON…

Structure and Photochemical Behavior of the Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes of the Benzoylthiophene-Derived Drugs Tiaprofenic Acid (=5-Benzoyl-α-met…

2001

The effect of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on the excited-state reactivity of the two benzoylthiophene derivatives, tiaprofenic acid (TPA; 2) and suprofen (SPF; 3) in their carboxylate forms is studied. The presence of β-cyclodextrin does not affect the nature of the photoproduced transients and the photoproducts, but increases the photodegradation quantum yields of both drugs. The efficiency of the photodecarboxylation process is enhanced. This effect is rationalized in the light of the inclusion of 2 and 3 in the β-CD cavity, affecting the energy of the lowest excited states of the drugs. The structure of the complexes is determined by induced circular dichroism, and molecular-mechanics and dyna…
