Environmental Effects on Molecular Properties of Organic Compounds. Part II. β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes with Cinnamic Acids.

Abstract β-Cyclodextrin forms inclusion complexes with cinnamic acids. The formation of the inclusion complexes has been established by X-ray powder-diffraction, ultraviolet and induced circular dichroism spectra. Environmental effects on molecular properties of the guest compounds, such as dimerization have been observed in the solid state.
