Photophysical and Theoretical Studies on the Stereoselective Complexation of Naphthylethanols with β-Cyclodextrin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Stereoselective binding of the 1-naphthyl-1-ethanol (1-NpOH) and 2-naphthyl-1-ethanol (2-NpOH) enantiomers with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was investigated by photophysical and theoretical studies. The latter are based on structural calculations of the complexes and their respective induced circular dichroism spectra. For the enantiomers of 1-NpOH, where the complexes with β-CD have a 1:1 (guest:CD) stoichiometry, a mixture of structures with different geometries was observed for each enantiomer. No stereoselectivity was apparent for these complexes. ( R) - and ( S) -2-NpOH form complexes with β-CD that have both 1:1 and 2:2 stoichiometries. Structural calculations indicate that the naphthyl moiety of both enantiomers is preferentially included in the CD cavity for the 1:1 complex. In the case of the complexes with 2:2 stoichiometry, a mixture of complexes is present that either have the naphthyl moieties at a distance or in close proximity. The former geometry explains the observation of long-lived excited triplet states for 2-NpOH, whereas the latter geometry is responsible for the excimer emission. The stereoselectivity observed for the monomer to excimer intensity ratios when ( R) - and ( S) -2-NpOH are complexed to β-CD is due to the different contributions of 2:2 complexes with different geometries.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
