Structures of the inclusion compounds formed between the host compound
1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane and selected lutidine isomers hav
e been elucidated. The activation energies and kinetics of desolvation
for the complexes were determined. Competition experiments were perfo
rmed to investigate preferential enclathration. Lattice energy calcula
tions explain the results of the competition experiments.
