abstract: The spectral and temperature dependence of enhanced fluorescence of propyl gallate complexes with -cyclodextrin in aqueous solutions was investigated. From the temperature dependence data in the range of 278-333 K, equilibrium constant and thermodynamic parameters like free enthalpy, enthalpy and entropy for the complexation of PG with CD were calculated. At 293 K those values are Keq = 452 M-1 at 25 C, G = –62.4 kJ M-1, H = –113.1 kJ M-1 and S = –173 J M-1 K-1, respectively. Characterization of the fluorescence enhancing effect and structure of the forming complex were discussed on the basis of molecular interaction mechanisms.
