Abstract

The host compound 1,4-bis(diphenylhydroxymethyl)benzene is shown to include a series of amides: N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylacetamide (NMA) and N-methylformamide (NMF). The resultant inclusion compounds were characterised using thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. A kinetic experiment was performed on the DMF clathrate and the activation energy determined. The host selectivity for the amides was studied through competition experiments.
