Complexation with diol host compounds. Part 25.1 Selective inclusion of benzenediol isomers by 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane

Abstract

The title host compound includes all the isomers of the benzenediols. The structures with the p- and o-benzenediols have been elucidated and show that the clathrates are stabilised by hydrogen bonds. Competition experiments with the host in water suspension show that the para-isomer is preferentially enclathrated. Lattice energy calculations explain the results of the competition experiment.
