Abstract:

Spectrofluorimetric technique was employed to study the inclusion interaction of brilliant blue (BB) with β - cyclodextrin (β-CD) and its derivatives (CDs), including mono[2-O-(2-hydroxyethyl)]-β-CD (HE-β-CD) and mono[2-O- (2-hydroxypropyl)] -β-CD (HP-β-CD). Linear Hildebrand-Benesi plots with a high correlation coefficient demonstrated that CDs could react with BB to form a 1:1 host-guest complex. A significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity in BB was observed due to its inclusion interaction with β-CD and its CDs which exhibited an enhancement effect in the following order of β-CD < HE-β-CD < HP-β-CD. In addition, the optimum inclusion reaction time and pH value were determined to be 30 min and from 4 to 10, respectively.

Key words: cyclodextrin, brilliant blue (BB), inclusion, fluorescence
