42. DBO has been employed twice in the context of supramolecular chemistry, but the previous studies have nothing in common with the present application of DBO as a structural and dynamic fluorescent probe. In one study, singlet energy transfer from dimethylnaphthalene was examined in micelles (Aikawa, M.; Yekta, A.; Liu, J.-M.; Turro, N. J. Photochem. Photobiol. 1980, 32, 297-303), and in the second study photoproduct distributions in zeolites were analyzed (ref 23).
43. Although pyrene is one of the few molecules whose fluorescence lifetime (ca. 435 ns in hexane, ref 40) approaches that of DBO, its application for the direct measurement of association rate constants has several disadvantages. These include its low water solubility (ref 15), its competitive excimer emission at concentrations above ca. 10 μM (ref 40), and a significant drop of the fluorescence lifetime upon derivatization due to the elevation of symmetry constraints (Birks, J. B. Photophysics of Aromatic Molecules; Wiley: London, 1970), e.g., to 120 ns in deaerated water for pyrene-1-butyrate (ref 15).

48. A short survey of the literature is in order to substantiate this point. First, although the fluorescence of n,π*-excited ketones is generally too short-lived and too weak to allow practical exploitation, the steady-state fluorescence of n,π*-excited xanthone has been employed in one case to determine binding constants with cyclodextrins (ref 5). However, the short fluorescence lifetime of xanthone (ca. 0.6-0.8 ns in water, ref 9) precludes dynamic information and, moreover, the solvent dependence is not well understood (Bohne, C., personal communication). Second, compounds with n,π* configuration have been previously employed as fluorescent probes (ref 1), but in the reported examples it is actually not the n,π* state which is fluorescent, but a close-lying π,π* state; the latter becomes the lowest excited state in polar environments ("state switching").

51. Counterintuitively, although the association pathway for model 1 increases the concentration of CD·DBO* complexes, it reduces the apparent static preexponential factor associated with the decay of the CD·DBO* complexes.

54. 0] holds in a very good approximation. Note that low guest concentrations are often adjusted on purpose to allow simplified (since linearized) quantitative treatments, e.g., the so-called double-reciprocal Benesi- Hildebrand plots (Benesi, H. A.; Hildebrand, J. H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1949, 71, 2703-2710).
55. 0) complex fluorescence (third term). The contributions due to the fluorescence from excited-state complexes (last two terms) need to be further multiplied by the efficiency factor R when dissociation of the excited-complexes becomes important (model 3); otherwise, R is unity.
