Abstract
One or two coumarin units were incorporated to the primary face of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), and the resultant coumarin derivatives were employed to harvest the chemical energy generated in the reaction of bis(trichlorophenyl)oxalate with hydrogen peroxide. In comparison with the coumarin without CD cavity for molecular recognition, the coumarin–CD conjugates demonstrated much higher chemiluminescence inetensity, indicating that the CD moiety remarkably improves the chemical energy transfer.
