Fluorescence Suppression of 7-Methoxycoumarin upon Inclusion into Cyclodextrins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The fluorescence intensity of 7-methoxycoumarin (7MC) in aqueoussolution is found to significantly decrease upon addition of variouscyclodextrins. This observed phenomenon is described asfluorescence suppression, to distinguish it from fluorescencereduction via bimolecular quenching. The decrease in fluorescenceof 7MC is proposed to be the result of the formation of ahost–guest inclusion complex with cyclodextrin. Since 7MC isa polarity-sensitive fluorophore, which is less fluorescent ina nonpolar environment, its fluorescence decreases uponinclusion into the relatively nonpolar internal cavity of thecyclodextrin. The same equation used for extracting the associationconstant in the case of 1 : 1 host–guest inclusion-induced fluorescenceenhancement is shown to be applicable to the case of fluorescencesuppression. In the case of β-cyclodextrin, the degree of fluorescencesuppression, as well as the value of the binding constant for formationof the inclusion complex, are found to be unaffected by modificationof the cyclodextrin rims, suggesting that the molecule iscompletely included within the β-cyclodextrin cavity. In the case ofγ-cyclodextrin, the degree of fluorescence suppression, butnot the value of the binding constant, is found to be significantlyaffected by modification of the cyclodextrin rims, suggesting thatthe molecule is experiencing a less polar environment in the modifiedγ-cyclodextrin cavity. The binding constant is three timeslarger in β- as compared to γ-cyclodextrin, indicatinga much better size match in the smaller β-cyclodextrin cavity.

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.
