title: Selective binding of steroids by 2,2'-biquinoline-4,4'-dicarboxamide-bridged bis(beta-cyclodextrin): fluorescence enhancement by guest inclusion.
abstract: A novel bis(beta-cyclodextrin) was synthesized, and its binding behavior with steroids was investigated to demonstrate that the cooperative co-inclusion of guest and tether by two cyclodextrin moieties is operative to afford the highest molecular selectivity of up to 3.6 for deoxycholate over taurocholate.
