ORGANIZATION OF LONG ALIPHATIC MONOCARBOXYLIC ACIDS IN BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN CHANNELS - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF THE INCLUSION COMPLEXES OF TRIDECANOIC ACID AND (Z)-TETRADEC-7-ENOIC ACID IN BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN

In the crystalline state, infinite channels of beta-cyclodextrin dimer s host infinite arrays of self associated linear aliphatic monocarboxy lic acids, thus enclosing the hydrophilic carboxy ends inside the hydr ophobic channels.
