Thanks to their unique chemical molecular structures, cyclodextrins have the ability to form inclusion complexes with various types of solid, liquid, and gas molecules (Akçakoca and Atav, 2006). Cyclodextrins, derived from enzymatically processed starch, are widely used in numerous industrial fields such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Cyclodextrins possess a ring-shaped structure, and inclusion complexes are formed when the cavity in this structure is filled by another molecule. By attaching different structures to the hydroxyl groups in cyclodextrins, various derivatives are formed. The hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin used in this study is derived from beta-cyclodextrin, has a white color, and possesses a crystalline structure. Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-ß-CD) is obtained by binding propylene oxide to some hydroxyl groups in beta-cyclodextrin (BCD). This new compound has greater solubility than BCD and is therefore used in areas requiring higher solubility. The purpose of this study is to form an HP-ß-CD/Anthracene inclusion complex in water, characterize its formation using various spectroscopic methods, and observe the effects of Mn and Zn metals on the fluorescence emission intensity of the complex.
