Abstract
The cyclodextrins are known to present solubility properties which str ongly depend on the symmetry of their macrocycle. In the present paper , we investigate by X-ray reflectivity monolayers of amphiphilic alpha -, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrins deposited on silicon wafers. We show the relationships between the in-plane packing of the three kinds of cyclodextrin molecules and the measured structural parameters such as the interfacial roughnesses, densities, and thicknesses.
