RUI: Phosphorescent cyclodextrin/bromonaphthalene complexes

在该项目中，由化学学部实验物理化学项目资助，PI将研究环糊精（CDxs）的超分子动力学，以及控制二元和三元（1客体：2宿主）分子复合物形成和稳定性的因素。该配合物由溴萘衍生物作为来访者和主要为- cdx的宿主组成。除此之外，该研究将确定1:1和1:2基态复合物形成和解离的结合常数和热力学量，以及形成和解离的速率常数。这项研究将在一所大学进行，并将与本科生一起进行。

In this project, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, the PI will investigate the supramolecular dynamics of cyclodextrins (CDxs), and the factors that control the formation and stability of binary and ternary (1 guest: 2 host) molecular complexes. The complexes consist of bromonaphthalene derivatives as guests and a host, which is primarily alpha-CDx. Among other things the research will determine the binding constants and thermodynamic quantities for formation and dissociation for the 1:1 and 1:2 ground state complexes, as well as the rate constants for formation and dissociation. This research will be conducted in a college and will be performed with undergraduate students.
