THREE COMPONENT COMPLEXES OF CYCLOHEPTAAMYLOSE. FLUORESCENCE QUENCHING OF PYRENES AND NAPHTHALENES IN AQUEOUS MEDIA

Abstract
Fluorescence quenching of pyrenes and naphthalenes by diethylamine and di-n-butylamine has been measured in aqueous media with and without cycloheptaamylose. Formation of three component complexes of cycloheptaamylose with a fluorophore and a quencher has been indicated from the catalytic effects of cycloheptaamylose on quenching.
