Rd. Sinisterra et al., THE INCLUSION OF RHODIUM(II)ALPHA-METHYL-CINNAMATE IN BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 22(2), 1995, pp. 91-98
The preparation and characterization of the 1:1 inclusion compound of
rhodium(II) alpha-methyl cinnamate in beta-cyclodextrin is reported, E
vidence of inclusion was obtained from X-ray powder diffraction result
s, Raman, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic studies and thermal analysis. Gi
ven the potential antitumor activity of the rhodium(II) carboxylate an
d its virtual insolubility in water, its inclusion in beta-cyclodextri
n opens the possibility for its transference to the aqueous phase.
