Abstract: | Complexation of beta-cyclodextrin with flexible nitroxide biradicals linked by a polyethylene glycol chain was monitored by EPR spectroscopy. The EPR spectra of the uncomplexed biradicals show an exchange interaction due to the flexibility of the polyethylene glycol chain. Complexation with cyclodextrin leads to the disappearance of the exchange interaction in the EPR spectra. The complexation can be reversed by the addition of competing guests (e.g., adamantane derivatives). At high concentration, the inclusion complexes precipitate, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the precipitates proved the formation of complexes. Elemental analysis data revealed that the complexes contain several cyclodextrin units per biradical but that the composition was not stoichiometric. |
