In the following paper, we show how the pH dependent hydrophobic characteristics of poly (methacrylic acid)(PMA) may be used to develop a reversible supramolecular complex between a cyclodextrin and an atropisomeric aromatic group bound as a label to the PMA. The system is monitored by a chiral optical signal which is sensitive not only to the pH at the time of measurement but also to both the pH and time history of the sample.The complexes between cyclodextrins1 and naphthalene derivatives cause a large induced circular dichroism (ICD) effect associated with the naphthalene chromophore perturbed by the asymmetric cyclodextrin internal cavity. 2 However an aqueous solution of polymethacrylic acid (PMA), 0.6% of whose monomer units were esterified with 4-bromomethyl-1, 1′-binaphthyl3 (1) showed no circular dichroism signal on addition of even large excesses of γ-cyclodextrin. When the pH is raised above 6, however, the expected induced circular dichroism (ICD) appears signaling the incorporation of the aromatic chromophore in the cyclodextrin cavity. The binding constant for this complex is 1250 L/M at pH 10. 4 This ICD instantly disappears on reducing the pH below near to 6 and reappears when the pH is raised above this point. 5, 6 Figure 1 exhibits this interplay between the pH and the ICD and, to be discussed below, the pH
