Two crystalline forms of alpha-cyclodextrin-poly(ethylene glycol) inclusion complexes were discovered using X-ray scattering. Higher molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) leads to more unbound polymer and structural imperfections.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Alpha-cyclodextrin (CD) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) form inclusion complexes (ICs).
  • Understanding the crystalline structure of these ICs is crucial for material applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the crystalline structures of alpha-CD-PEG inclusion complexes.
  • To determine the effect of PEG molecular weight on the IC structure.

Main Methods:

  • Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) was employed.
  • Precise azimuthal X-ray diffraction scanning of oriented samples was utilized.

Main Results:

  • Two distinct crystalline columnar modifications (forms I and II) were identified.

  • Form I features CDs threaded onto PEG chains, while form II involves unbound CDs.
  • Increasing PEG molecular weight (especially > 8000) resulted in more unbound PEG and crystalline imperfections.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study revealed novel crystalline structures in alpha-CD-PEG ICs.
    • A polyblock structure model was proposed for these ICs.
    • PEG molecular weight significantly influences the structural integrity of alpha-CD-PEG inclusion complexes.
