Induced circular dichroism spectra of β- and γ-cyclodextrin complexes with indazolinone and related compounds

The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of indazolinone, isatine, and 3-iminoisoindolinone and the induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectra of the inclusion complexes with beta- or gamma-cyclodextrins (CDs) have been measured. The spectra are interpreted by results of the ZINDO calculations. In the presence of cyclodextrin, the OH indazolinone tautomer is main structure that is consistent with that in the DMSO solution. The structures of the inclusion complexes are very different because of the scale of the cavity of cyclodextrin or position of quinone in molecules.
