Luminescent properties and structure of multicomponent naphthalene-β-cyclodextrin complexes. 1. Effect of adding third parties, o-carborane or/and adamantane

► Structure of carcass compounds determines luminescence types for naphthalene - betaCD complex. ► Adding o-carborane leads to the growth of excimer fluorescence at low naphthalene concentrations. ► Adding adamantane leads to the room temperature phosphorescence without deoxygenation.
