Abstract

A new fluorescent β-cyclodextrin has been synthesized by coupling an anthracene moiety to the cyclic oligosaccharide via click chemistry. The influence of the triazole spacer was compared to the simple amino and amido linkers. While a sensing ability toward adamantan- 1-ol was observed with the latter two spacers, the absence of inclusion capacity prevents the triazole modified cyclodextrin from showing any fluorescence variations. The difference in ...
