M. Maafi et al., A STRATEGY FOR THE PHOTOISOMERIZATION OF AROMATIC NORBORNADIENES IN AQUEOUS-MEDIA, BASED ON BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN INCLUSION COMPLEXES, Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Chemical sciences, 110(3), 1998, pp. 319-323
The formation of 1:1 inclusion complexes between norbornadiene aromati
c derivatives and beta-cyclodextrin was investigated spectrofluorometr
ically, in aqueous media. Photophysical properties, thermodynamic cons
tants, and photoisomerization kinetics of these complexes were determi
ned.
