Abstract: Absorption, emission, time resolved fluorescence spectra and molecular modelling of 2-anisidine (2AS) with α-CD and β-CD in pH~2, pH~7 and pH~11 solutions were examined. Cu: 2AS: CD nanomaterials were investigated by SEM, DSC, FTIR, XRD and 1H NMR techniques. The absorption and emission maxima and spectral shape of 2AS in all the pH solutions and solvents are different from each other. 2AS gave a single broad emission spectrum in all the solvents while dual emission noticed at pH~11. The lifetimes of the inclusion complexes were longer than that of the free 2AS molecule. The geometrical restriction of the α-CD cavity likely limits the free rotation of the amino and methoxy groups, thereby enhancing the emission intensity. The calculated HOMO–LUMO energy gap, total energy, free energy, enthalpy, entropy, dipole moment, and zero-point vibrational energy of the CD: 2AS complex differed significantly from those of the isolated 2AS, α-CD and β-CD molecules, and both the vertical and horizontal bond lengths between the amino and methoxy groups are smaller than the β-CD cavity size confirming the formation of an inclusion complex. In FTIR, most of the peaks are not appeared and a substantial decrease in intensity was noted in the Cu: 2AS: CD nano. The chemical shift value of 2AS protons are shifts to up field and down field and the peak intensities are very low in the nano copper with CD nanomaterials. SEM image of the nanomaterials are different from isolated 2AS molecule.
