The X-ray structure of an inclusion complex of heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin with 2-naphthoic acid
Abstract
An X-ray structure determination of heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin–2-naphthoic acid inclusion complex reveals that the naphthyl group is lengthwise inserted into the host cavity with an inclination angle of ca. 30° to the pseudosymmetry axis of the host molecule.
