title: Room temperature phosphorescence of 1-naphtalenacetamide included in beta-cyclodextrin in presence of 1,3-dibromopropane.
abstract: The spectral characteristics of the inclusion of 1-naphthalenacetamide in beta-cyclodextrin have been studied by luminescence methods. The addition of bromoalcohols or bromoalkanes produces a decrease of the fluorescence of the inclusion complex, giving rise to a new band corresponding to phosphorescence emission. The emission intensity is much higher in the presence of bromoalkanes than in the presence of bromoalcohols. The deoxygenation of the solutions is achieved by flowing nitrogen, by the addition of sodium sulphite and by a combination of both methods, which results in the most effective approach. The phosphorescence emission is produced in the turbid suspension formed in the presence of the bromoalkane. The formation of microcrystals seems necessary to obtain phosphorescence emission from the ternary system.
