Abstract
A bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) (1) with an azobenzene dicarboxylate linker was synthesized, and its binding behavior with a fluorescent dye, acridine red (AR), was investigated by means of fluorescence spectroscopy. Due to the photo-induced conversion of the azobenzene dicarboxylate linker from the trans-conformer to the cis-conformer, 1 exhibits a different binding behavior before and after UV light irradiation, giving a stronger binding ability towards AR in the cis form. This switchable binding behavior of 1 may open a new channel to the design of azobenzenelinked dimeric receptors as photo-induced molecular devices.
