The triplet excited state of the biocative compound thiabendazole. Characterization and suitability as reporter for cyclodextrin complexation
2012
Fluorescence spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis (LPF), and density functional theory calculations have been performed to characterize the photobehavior of thiabendazole (1). Direct LFP of 1 results in the generation of a transient absorbing at λmax = 570 nm identified as the triplet excited state (31∗). The intersystem crossing quantum yield is 0.91, and the triplet energy is 288 kJ mol−1. The singlet–triplet energy gap is 84 kJ mol−1. The behavior of thiabendazole within CDs results in a marked enhancement of the triplet lifetime, this change is attributed to the mobility restrictions of included 1 imposed by the cyclodextrin cavities.
Spectrophotometric study on the thermodynamics of binding of α- and β-cyclodextrin towards some p-nitrobenzene derivativesElectronic supplementary in…
2003
Binding properties of native α- and β-cyclodextrin towards some nitrobenzene derivatives have been studied by means of UV-vis spectrophotometry. The former host is able to form complexes having 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 stoichiometric ratios with these guests, while only 1 : 1 complexes are detected with the latter host. A careful analysis of the thermodynamic parameters for complexation equilibria, under the perspective of the enthalpy–entropy compensation effect, reveals that binding abilities of the two different hosts are subject to different features.

The cover image depicts the hazard caused by chlorofluorocarbons such as CFC‐11, which are used, for example, as blowing agents for polyurethane foams, and the protective effect of the oligosaccharide, hexakis‐(2,3,6‐tri‐O‐methyl)‐α‐cyclodextrin, which is capable of binding CFC‐11 by supramolecular complexation and thus protecting the stratospheric ozone layer from the harmful trichlorofluoromethane. Further details can be found in article number 1800057 by Ralf Hellmann, Siegfried R. Waldvogel, and co‐workers.
Switchable Supramolecular Crosslinking of Cyclodextrin-Modified Hyperbranched Polyethylenimine via Anthraquinone Dyes
2011
Two anthraquinone dyes, 5,8-di-N-adamantylamino-1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone (AQ-OH) and 1,4-di-N-adamantylaminoanthraquinone (AQ-H), are synthesized. The combination of AQ-OH and AQ-H with hyperbranched polyethylenimine (PEI) bearing covalently attached β-cyclodextrin spontaneously formed host–guest complexes with hydrodynamic diameters of about 260 nm. Even enlarged structures of the trifunctional AQ-H were observed via DLS. Repeated measurements show that their assembly and disassembly is reversible with a critical point at 26 °C and therefore switchable via temperature. Also superstructures up to 100 μm were detected via TEM, cryo-TEM-, and SEM. Hence, a smart colored network of switchabl…
Cyclodextrins in Polymer Synthesis: Free Radical Copolymerization of Methylated β-Cyclodextrin Complexes of Hydrophobic Monomers with N-Isopropylacr…
2000
Methylated β-cyclodextrin (me-β-CD) was used to form water-soluble host/guest complexes with the hydrophobic monomers n-butyl methacrylate (1), cyclohexyl methacrylate (2), isobornyl acrylate (3), isobornyl methacrylate (4), and styrene (5), respectively. The free-radical copolymerizations of the water-soluble N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) with these complexed monomers were carried out in water at different molar ratios.

1998
The hydrophobic monomers N-methacryloyl-11 -aminoundecanoic acid (1) or N-methacryloyl-1-aminononane (2) were incorporated as guests into the cavity of heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (Me 2 -β-CD) as a host, yielding the water compatible monomers N-methacryloyl-l 11-aminoundecanoic acid/ Me 2 -β-CD-complex (1a) and N-methacryloyl-1 -aminononane/Me 2 -β-Cl complex (2a). These complexes were polymerized radically in aqueous medium. The resulting polymers 1b and 2b which were obtained from the complexes 1a and 2a, are insoluble in water because of the unthreading of the cyclodextrin during the polymerization. The polymerization rate of 1a and 2a is high in comparison to the rate of th…
Cyclodextrins in polymer synthesis: free radical polymerisation of cyclodextrin complexes of cyclohexyl and phenyl methacrylate in aqueous medium
1998
The polymerisation mechanism of 2,6-dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (Me2-β-CD) complexes of phenyl methacrylate (1) and cyclohexyl methacrylate (2) is described. The polymerisation of the complexes 1 a and 2a was carried out in water with potassium peroxodisulfate/potassium hydrogensulfite as initiator. The unthreading of the Me2-β-CD during the polymerisation led to water-insoluble poly(phenyl methacrylate) (1b) and poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) (2b). By comparison, analogously prepared polymers from uncomplexed monomers 1 and 2 in homogeneous organic solvent (THF) with AIBN as radical initiator showed significantly lower viscosities and were obtained in lower yields in both cases.

2000
Methylated β-cyclodextrin (me-β-CD) was used to complex the hydrophobic monomers methyl methacrylate (1) or styrene (2) yielding the water-soluble 1 : 1-host/guest complexes methyl methacrylate/me-β-CD (1 a) and styrene/me-β-CD (2 a), respectively. In addition, the hydrophobic chain-transfer agent dodecanethiol (3) was complexed by two equivalents of me-β-CD yielding the water-soluble dodecanethiol/me-β-CD (3 a). The included monomers were polymerized in water by a free-radical mechanism in the presence of 3 a as the chain-transfer agent. The chain-transfer constants were determined. In order to evaluate these results, the chain-transfer constants of 3 were also determined in the case of th…
Cyclodextrins in Polymer Synthesis: Synthesis and Influence of Methylatedβ-Cyclodextrin on the Radical Polymerization Behavior of 1,1-Disubstituted 2…
2001
The chemical and enzymatic hydrolyses of 1,1-diethoxycarbonyl-2-vinylcyclopropane (1) were investigated. The product of the pig liver esterase (PLE)-catalyzed hydrolysis of 1 is a chiral trans monoester of 2-vinylcyclopropane dicarboxylic acid. New 1,1-disubstituted 2-vinylcyclopropane monomers (2a, b) were synthesized by the esterification of this ester. Methylated β-cyclodextrin was used to complex monomers 2a, b, yielding water-soluble 1 : 1 host/guest complexes. These complexes were polymerized in aqueous media by a free-radical ring-opening mechanism.
Supramolecular Nanocycles Comprisingβ-Cyclodextrin-click-Ferrocene Units: Rings of Rings of Rings
2010
We applied 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to bind ethynylferrocene onto 6I-azido-6I-deoxycyclomaltoheptaose under microwave assisted conditions. The process was investigated by (1) H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The ability of the synthesized compound to self-organize to cyclic supramolecular structures was investigated by dynamic light scattering measurements and cryo-transmission electron microscopy.
