X-Ray crystallographic study of octakis(3,6-anhydro)-γ-cyclodextrin with a highly specific cation binding ability
Abstract
Octakis(3-6-anhydro)-γ-cyclodextrin, which is composed of eight 3,6,-anhydroglucoses, is analysed by X-ray crystallography to determine its unique structure which contains a hydrophilic cavity enabling specific binding to Cs+.
