H. Viernstein et al., INFLUENCE OF THE RING SHAPE OF DIFFERENT CYCLODEXTRINS ON COMPLEXATION PROPERTIES, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 25(1-3), 1996, pp. 129-132
The complexation properties of various cyclodextrins depend on their r
ing size and the molecular shape of the guest molecules, but also on t
he hydrophobicity of the interior. Convenient systems for the characte
rization of the environment (solvation shell or complexing host molecu
les) are alkylaminomethyl-naphthols, molecules with an intramolecular
hydrogen bond allowing proton transfer, which is extremely sensitive t
o solvation phenomena.
