The synthesis of a new water-soluble beta-cyclodextrin CD-St with seven steroidic naphthalene chromophores linked to the primary rim, is reported together with the photophysical and structural features of its inclusion complexes with merocyanine and oxazine fluorescent dyes. These complexes were formed in a buffer at pH 10. At this pH the cyclodextrin is 14 times negatively charged since each chromophore bears two carboxylic groups. No excimer emission was detected, as expected from the design principles. Two complexes can be formed with stoichiometries 1:1 and 2:1 (CD:dye) for both dyes. The respective association constants were determined. In the 2:1 complexes, the cyclodextrin secondary rims are facing each other. Such complexes are outstanding artificial antennae with 14 chromophores surrounding an energy acceptor. Comparison was made with another (previously reported) water-soluble beta-cyclodextrin CD-NA with seven naphthalene chromophores-also linked to the primary rim-but bearing only one carboxylic group each. In fact, CD-NA only forms 1:1 complexes with the same dyes. The difference in complexing abilty of CD-NA and CD-St is discussed.
