β-Cyclodextrin trimers enclosing an unusual organization of guest: The inclusion complex β-cyclodextrin/4-pyridinealdazine†‡
Abstract
The inclusion of the long conjugated 4-pyridinealdazine molecule in β-cyclodextrin results in a novel trimer association of β-cyclodextrin macrocycles observed for the first time and an unusual face-to-face assembly of hydrated guest dimers inside the cavity.
