The effect of adding organized supramolecular systems such as β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) on the photochemically-induced fluorescence (PIF) spectral properties of -fluvalinate (TFV) in aqueous solutions was examined. The influence of pH, UV irradiation time and photoproduct stability on the cyclodextrin-enhanced photochemically-induced fluorescence intensity was also investigated. The spectral changes associated with the inclusion process yielded values for the formation constants of TFV inclusion complexes between 450 and 640 M, which were calculated using the nonlinear iterative regression approach least squares.

The TIFD method developed in DMβCD medium, was optimized with respect to the reaction time, DMβCD concentration and pH. Based on the inclusion reaction, the OPA-BUP: DMβCD inclusion complex was developed in two aqueous media pH 7 and pH 13.
