Abstract
CYCLODEXTRINS, which are cyclic α-1,4-linked D-glucose oligomers, form a number of inclusion compounds with a variety of ‘guest’ molecules1. The direct evidences for the formation of inclusion compounds have been derived from NMR spectra2 and X-ray studies3–5. α-Cyclodextrin is capable of forming a complex with a bulky molecule whose length is longer than the depth of the cavity of α-cyclodextrin. It is as yet not clear that which part of the molecule is included in and in what manner the molecule is bound to the interior of the α-cyclodextrin ring. We present here the structure of the α-cyclodextrin-p-iodoaniline (α-CDx-p-IAN)complex,(C6H10O5)6.C6H6NI.3H2O.
