H. Kawashima et al., META-STABLE COMPLEX-FORMATION BETWEEN 2,6-DI-O-METHYL-BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN AND NAPHTHALENE DURING SEALED-HEATING PROCESS, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 42(3), 1994, pp. 727-729
When a physical mixture of naphthalene and amorphized 2,6-di-O-methyl-
beta-cyclodextrin was heated in a sealed container, a meta-stable comp
lex was crystallized under a mild condition of heating, which showed e
xcimer fluorescence emission of naphthalene. On the other hand, heatin
g of the mixture at high temperature caused the crystallization of sta
ble inclusion complex which showed monomer fluorescence emission.
