Influence of cyclodextrin size on fluorescence quenching in conjugated polyrotaxanes by methyl viologen in aqueous solution

Poly(4,4′-diphenylenevinylene) rotaxanes and [2]rotaxanes with α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrin macrocycles were synthesised and their sensitivities to fluorescence quenching by methyl viologen in aqueous solution were determined, relative to uninsulated analogues. Stern-Volmer analysis revealed that the fluo...
