Inclusion and separation of picoline isomers by a diol host compound

Abstract

Structures of the inclusion compounds formed between the host compound 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane and the isomers of picoline have been elucidated. The activation energies and the kinetics of desolvation for the complexes have been determined. Competition experiments have been performed to investigate which isomer is preferentially enclathrated by the host. Lattice energy calculations explain the results of the competition experiments.
