Abstract: The spectral behaviors of a series of coumarins in water with different concentrations of β-cyclodextrin were studied in this work. It has been found that β-cyclodextrin’s inclusion capacity to these coumarins is closely related to their structural and substitution features. The influence of the polarity of the internal cavity of β-cyclodextrin on coumarins’ spectra corresponds with the degree of coumarins’ intramolecular charge transfer. The formation of hydrogen bonds between -OH,-NH2 substituted coumarin derivatives and β-cyclodextrin acts as an obstacle to inclusion. Because the size of β-cyclodextrin is definite, it is of great importance for good inclusion to take place that the size of the guest molecule match that of β-cyclodextrin.

Key words: coumarin, β-cyclodextrin, adamantane acid, inclusion complex
