Studies on Absorption and Emission Characteristics of Inclusion Complexes of Some 4-Arylidenamino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiols

The inclusion complexes of a series of 4-arylidenamino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiols have been prepared with β-cyclodextrin. The compounds and their inclusion complexes have been characterized by studying their physical and spectral properties. The thermodynamic stability constant and free energy of activation have been determined to know the stability of inclusion complexes and type of host-guest relation. Finally, absorption, excitation and emission spectra of the compounds (4-arylidenamino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiols) and their inclusion complexes have been taken. It is found that inclusion complex formation brings about a drastic change in absorption and fluorescence characteristic (both excitation and emission spectra) of newly synthesized compounds.
