A Large Conformational Change of a Bridged b-Cyclodextrin Dimer in Aqueous Solution

摘要

A novel bridged b-CD dimer in which two b-cyclodextrins were linked by a naphthalene at positions 2 and 7 has been synthesized. 1H and 13CNMR measurements showed that a large change in the conformation of the dimer occurred in aqueous solution. The dimer interacted with methyl and ethyl orange to form stable inclusion complexes via 搃nduced fit?mechanism.
