The interactions between beta-cyclodextrin and derivatives from Ferrocene and Adamantanol have been studied with ab initio and molecular dynamics method in both gas and water solvent phase. A semi-empirical method has been proposed to carry out the excitation state computations attempting to reveal the mechanism behind the process of fluorescence quenching and recovering by adding Ferrocene derivatives followed by Adamantanol derivatives into the water solution of beta-cyclodextrin anchored quantum dots.
