to that of PS is observed when A is added to Py aqueous solutions containing CDx. Therefore, it is concluded that the equilibria corresponding to those for PS exist in the Py solutions containing both CDx and A. In fact, at low concentrations of A, the Py fluorescence is quenched without a change in the fluorescence spectrum, indicating the existence of a ternary inclusion compound PyAC which is formed from PyC and A. On the other hand, at high A concentrations a broad structureless emission appears with a maximum at 480 nm. The broad emission can be assigned to the CT fluorescence from an inclusion compound PyAC-AC which is formed by the association of two different kinds of inclusion compounds PyAC and AC.28 The peak position of the fluorescence from an exciplex between Py and A has been found to locate at 484 nm in 1,4-dioxane. This maximum wavelength is very close to that of the CT fluorescence from PyAC-AC. This finding exhibits that the polarity around an emissive species in PyAC-AC is nearly identical with that in neat 1,4-dioxane. With respect to the polarity around a species responsible for a CT fluorescence, the same result has already been pointed out for the system of CDx-2-methoxynaphthalene-l ,2-dicyanobenzene.1 (28) The Py excimer fluoresces with almost the same peak maximum. As mentioned below in the text, however, a short lifetime, 29 ns, of the broad emission suggests that the broad emission band is not due to the Py excimer.The CT fluorescence from PyAC-AC decays monoexponentially like that from PAC-AC: A lifetime of 29 ns has been obtained for the CT fluorescence from PyAC-AC. As in the case of PAC-AC, the species that emits the CT fluorescence in PyAC-AC is attributed to a binary excited complex between Py and A.By use of the same methods as those employed for the case of PS, equilibrium constants for Py, K3(Py), K4(Py), and K5(Py), which respectively correspond to K3, KA, and Ks for PS, were determined to be 66000, 54000, and 20000 mol"1 dm3, respectively. These values are about 30-50 times larger than those for PS. Such large differences in the equilibrium constants between Py and PS are due mainly to the steric hindrance of a sulfonato group of PS to the formation of each inclusion compound. In addition, the hydrophilic sulfonato group of PS appears to diminish the relevant equilibrium constants. Although there are significant differences in the relevant equilibrium constants between Py and PS, it should be emphasized that the same type of association occurs for parent Py and PS which posesses the bulky sulfonato group.Acknowledgment.
