Abstract
By combining fluorescence titration with molecular docking, we discovered that dodecyl fatty acid-modified 3HF-C11COOH interacts strongly with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). However, its insertion mode differs from that of unsubstituted 3HF. The β-CD-encapsulated 3HF-C11COOH adopts an unfavourable conformation for excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), as the intramolecular hydrogen bonding is partially disrupted.
