Mr. Caira et al., COMPLEXATION WITH DIOL HOST COMPOUNDS .25. SELECTIVE INCLUSION OF BENZENEDIOL ISOMERS BY 1,1-BIS(4-HYDROXYPHENYL)CYCLOHEXANE, Perkin transactions. 2, (9), 1997, pp. 1717-1720
The title host compound includes all the isomers of the benzenediols.
The structures with the p- and o-benzenediols have been elucidated and
show that the clathrates are stabilised by hydrogen bonds, Competitio
n experiments with the host in water suspension show that the para-iso
mer is preferentially enclathrated, Lattice energy calculations explai
n the results of the competition experiment.
