%0 Journal Article %T INCLUSION COMPOUNDS OF ¦Á-CYCLODEXTRIN WITH ALKYLTHIOLS %A PAUL JARA %A LORENA BARRIENTOS %A BARBARA HERRERA %A ISABEL SOBRADOS %J Journal of the Chilean Chemical Society %D 2008 %I Sociedad Chilena de Qu¨ªmica %X We report the formation of ¨¢-cyclodextrin (¨¢CD) inclusion compounds with octanethiol (OT), decanethiol (DT) and dodecanethiol (DDT). Elemental Microanalysis, 1H-NMR solution, Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and Powder X-ray Diffraction analysis (PXRD) confirm the inclusion process of the alkylthiols in to the ¨¢-cyclodextrin molecules. The basic host structure of the products is similar to that of typical channel type structure cyclodextrin inclusion compounds. The guest presents extended linear (zig-zag) conformation. The presence of the -SH groups located in the (001) plane of the ¨¢-cyclodextrins-alkylthiol crystal, is evidenced by Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. 13C CP-MAS NMR spectra of new ¨¢-cyclodextrin host-guest inclusion compounds are described. %K Inclusion compound %K Cyclodextrin %K Thiol %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0717-97072008000200005
