The compounds 2-[5'-benzylidene-2'-phenyl-4'-oxo-1', 3'-thiazolidine]-1, 3-benzothiazole and 2-[5'-(p-N,N-dimethylamino- benzylidene)-2'-phenyl-4'-oxo-1', 3'-thiazolidine]-1, 3-benzothiazole have been synthesized in their purest forms starting from 2-aminobenzothiazole. The inclusion complexes of the above compounds have been prepared with β-cyclodextrin to increase their solubility and bioaccessibility in polar medium. The formation of inclusion complexes have been ascertained by study of spectral characteristic before and after inclusion complex formation. The stability of inclusion complexes and nature of interaction between the host and guest are known from the determination of thermodynamic parameters. Further the antibacterial and antifungal activities of the compounds are determined which is found to increase significantly after inclusion complex formation

The host-guest inclusion complex formation between 3, 3’-benzidine/β-cyclodextrin derivative (BDCD) and pesticide carbendazim was studied and characterized by TEM and XRD. The result showed that inclusion complex had hydrophobic small-molecule fluorophores. The fluorescence titration was performed to calculate binding constant, sensitivity factor and limit of detection of the resulting complex. Based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of carbendazim produced throught complex formation, a new sensitive method for the determination of carbendazim was established. A linear relationship was obtained between the fluorescence intensity and carbendazim concentration in the range of 3.57 and 17.83 μmol/L. The correlation coefficient, the lowest limit of detection and RSD were 0.9916, 15.51 nmol/L and 2.13%, respectively. This method has better anti-interference ability and stability. The proposed method have been successfully applied to the determination of carbendazim pesticide residues in water, vegetable and fruit samples with satisfactory results, recoveries in the range of 87.56 % to 104.04 % were obtained.
