Abstract

An inclusion complex was formed with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Me-beta-CD) and the smallest unit of the macrocyclic family of bathocuproine, 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline. With this newly formed fluorescent probe, the quenching effect of heavy metals was investigated. Spectral characterization of the complex was performed by UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The complex formation constant (K-b), Gibbs free energy (Delta G(0)), and approximate quenching activation energy (E-a) values were calculated. Lifetime (tau), bimolecular quenching rate constant (k(q)) values, and diffusion rate constant (k(d)) calculations were made, and the mechanism of quenching by the effect of heavy metals was clarified.
