Among the various CDs tested, α-CD showed the strongest RTP signals. Interestingly, these signals differed significantly for the two enantiomers of CQ; the phosphorescence lifetime of (+)-CQ was about four times longer than that of (−)-CQ, being 352 ± 16 and 89 ± 6 μs, respectively. This enantiomeric selectivity is attributed to a difference in dissociation rates (competing with the radiative emission process) for the diastereoisomeric inclusion complexes dealt with, which have a 2:1 stoichiometry (α-CD:CQ:α-CD). Time-resolved RTP detection using different delay times enables the determination of the two enantiomers in a mixture without involving a separation technique. The minimum detectable fraction of (+)-CQ in a 2 mM sample was 13%. PB Elsevier SN 0039-9140 YR 2005 FD 2005 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10017/1329 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10017/1329 LA eng NO C.
