Beta-cyclodextrin (CD) inclusion complexes of disconnected synthetic cannabinoid molecules

摘要

SERS has proven to be a powerful screening technique for synthetic cannabinoids. Research shows successful capping of silver nanoparticles with thiolated CDfor the detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for SERS enhancement. CD is an oligosaccharide composed of seven α-D-glucopyranoside units and is commonly used in pharmaceuticals and drug delivery as its cavity can be used to form inclusion complexes with hydrophobic molecules.
