Encapsulation of electron donor-acceptor dyads in [beta]-cyclodextrin cavity: unusual planarization and enhancement in rate of electron-transfer reaction
Article Abstract:
The contrasting effects of flexible polymethylene and rigid aryl spacer groups on the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the novel viologen-linked acridine dyads bounded to [beta]-cyclodextrin are examined. Results suggest an enhanced rates of electron transfer in systems with rigid aryl spacers due to the unusual planarization of the dyad upon encapsulation in the [beta]-cyclodextrin cavity.

Ionic cluster size distributions of swollen nafion/sulfated [beta]-cyclodextrin membranes characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance cryoporometry
Article Abstract:
The ion exchange capacities (IECs), ionic cluster size distributions and water uptakes were measured for nafion/sulfated [beta]-cyclodextrin (sb-CD) membranes by nuclear magnetic resonance cryoporometry. The presence of sb-D in the Nafion membrane resulted in increases in the ionic cluster size, water uptake and the IECs.

Dynamics for the assembly of pyrene-gamma cyclodextrin host-guest complexes
Article Abstract:
The formation of the complexes between pyrene and gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) is described. This process can be used to build self-assemblies under kinetic control.
