Abstract

The feasibility of using pyrene as a fluorescent probe in complexes cyclodextrin-pyrene-analyte in aqueous solutions was studied for several analytes (A) of different polarity. Bands that prove the formation of the complex Py2βCD were found for the first time in the UV-VIS spectrum of an aqueous solution of pyrene in the presence of β-cyclodextrin. A characteristic of a fluorescent probe is the ratio I 3/I 1 in the fluorescence spectrum, where I 3 is the intensity of the third vibronic line at ∼800 cm−1, and I 1 is the intensity of the 0-0 transition. The value of I 3/I 1 for Py2βCD is highly sensitive to the addition of an analyte with a concentration of several μM/L to the aqueous solution. Dependences of (I 3/I 1)/C on the function of the dielectric constant ɛ of the analyte fɛ= (ɛ − 1)/(2ɛ + 1) are divided into two straight lines with different slopes for nonpolar and polar solvents. Energies of insertion of analytes into Py2βCD were calculated by the quantumchemical PM3 method. An increase in (I 3/I 1)/C corresponds to the more thermodynamically stable complex 2APy2βCD.
