Synthesis, characterization of 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium lauryl sulfate and its inclusion phenomenon with β-cyclodextrin for enhanced applications

1-Butyl-4-methylpyridinium lauryl sulfate was synthesized and a number of spectroscopic techniques were used for the characterization. The surface active property was explored in different ways. The Host Guest inclusion complex formation with the synthesized compound inside the beta-Cyclodextrin has been studied qualitatively as well as quantitatively with physicochemical, spectroscopic and advanced microscopic techniques. The Job plot from the UV-vis spectroscopy indicates the formation of both 1:1 and 2:1 inclusion. The inclusion complex has given the determining morphology with further evidence of 2:1 inclusion in HRTEM supported by DLS. Lastly, the 2D-NOESY has provided a conclusive mechanism for the inclusion phenomenon.
