Y. Liao et al., EFFECT OF EXCITATION ON THE HOST-GUEST EQUILIBRIUM-CONSTANTS OF CYCLODEXTRIN COMPLEXES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (2), 1995, pp. 199-200
The equilibrium constants for excited triplet xanthone with cyclodextr
ins are measured directly by spectroscopically following the decay of
triplet xanthone and are shown to be much smaller than those observed
for the ground state.
