S. Wenzel et al., DODC AGGREGATION IN BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN FOLLOWED BY TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT VISIBLE ABSORPTION AND CD SPECTROSCOPY AND SINGULAR-VALUE DECOMPOSITION, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 22(4), 1995, pp. 277-284
The concentration and temperature dependent dimerization of 1,1'-dieth
yloxadicarbocyanine iodide (DODC) in aqueous solutions of beta-cyclode
xtrin (beta-CyD) is studied by UV/vis and circular dichroism (CD) spec
troscopy. The spectroscopic data are analyzed by singular value decomp
osition and yield equilibrium constants in agreement with known values
. Thermodynamic parameters are obtained and discussed. The almost cons
tant dissymmetry factor of the induced CD over the whole experimental
range is further evidence of a free monomer and complexed dimer of DOD
