KINETIC STUDY ON THE FORMATION OF A BINUCLEAR COMPLEX BETWEEN COPPER(II) AND CYCLODEXTRIN

Abstract
The formation of a 2:1 complex between copper(II) and α- or β-cyclodextrin was examined in an alkaline solution by means of a stopped-flow spectrophotometer. The reaction involves a first-order rate process corresponding to the cross-linking of a cyclodextrin ring by a Cu(OH−)2Cu or Cu(OH−)(O2−)Cu ion bridge.
