Bl. Poh et Kk. Thee, COMPLEXATION OF POLYAROMATIC HYDROCARBONS WITH DISODIUM 1,8-DISULFONATO-3,4,5,6-ACRIDINETETRACARBOXYLIC ACID IN WATER, Tetrahedron letters, 37(46), 1996, pp. 8451-8454
The transport rates of seven polyaromatic hydrocarbons through water i
ncreased in the presence of disodium 1,8-disulfonato-3,4,5,6-acridinet
etracarboxylic acid, 1. The increase in rates was attributed to the in
clusion of the polyaromatic hydrocarbons within the hydrophobic cavity
of the dimeric form of 1. The stability constants K of the complexes
increase with the number of aromatic rings in the polyaromatic hydroca
rbons. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
