Self-assembly behavior of tail-to-tail superstructure formed by mono-6-O-(4-carbamoylmethoxy-benzoyl)-β-cyclodextrin in solution and the solid state.
2014
Abstract A novel mono-modified β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) consisting of 4-carbamoylmethoxy-benzoyl unit at the primary side was synthesized and its self-assembly behavior was determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure shows a ‘Yin-Yang’-like packing mode, in which the modified β-CD exhibits a channel superstructure formed by a tail-to-tail dimer as the repeating motif with the substituted group embedded within the hydrophobic cavity of the facing β-CD. The geometry of the substituted group is determined by the inclusion of the cavity and is further stabilized by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl O atom and phenyl group. Furthermore, NMR ROESY investigation indicates that the self-assembly behavior of the substituted group within the β-CD cavity is retained in aqueous solution, and the effective binding constant K a was calculated to be 1330 M −1 by means of 1 H NMR titration according to iterative determination.
