The inclusion mode of coumarin within the TBDMS-β-CD cavity was different between these solvents. Photodimerization of coumarin in the solvents was remarkably accelerated by the inclusion within the TBDMS-β-CD cavity. In particular, the largest rate increase was observed when 1.0 equivalent of TBDMS-b-CD was added to coumarin.}, pages = {688--691}, title = {Unique Catalytic Effect of a Cyclodextrin Host on Photodimerization of Coumarin in Nonpolar Solvents}, volume = {54}, year = {2013} }
