Diazacoronand linked beta-cyclodextrin dimer complexes of Brilliant Yellow tetraanion and their sodium(I) analogues.

Complexation of the Brilliant Yellow tetraanion, 3(4-), by two new diazacoronand linked beta-cyclodextrin (beta CD) dimers 4,13-bis(2-(6A-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin-6A-yl)aminooctylamidomethyl- and 4,13-bis(8-(6A-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin-6A-yl)aminooctylamidomethyl)-4,13- diaza-1,7,10-trioxacyclopentadecane, 1 and 2, respectively, has been studied in aqueous solution. UV-visible spectrophotometric studies at 298.2 K, pH 10.
