Abstract
Electronic excitation of compounds 3-5 complexed within the cavity of cyclophane 1 in aqueous solution produces host-guest exciplexes fluore scing at 420 nm. When cyclophane 2 is employed, the complexed guests f luoresce only as monomers. The ratio of exciplex vs. complexed monomer fluorescence is influenced by steric interactions between the host an d complexed guest. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
