Heating alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) and 4-methylpyridine (4MP) solutions causes reversible liquid-solid transitions. Five crystalline phases were identified, revealing insights into the crystallization process and disorder-order transitions.

Area of Science:

Materials Science
Physical Chemistry
Crystallography

Background:

Alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) and methylpyridines form inclusion complexes.
These systems can exhibit complex phase behaviors upon thermal treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the reversible liquid-solid transitions in alpha-cyclodextrin/4-methylpyridine (alpha-CD/4MP) solutions.
To characterize the crystalline phases and phase transformations at elevated temperatures.

Main Methods:

Solubility measurements
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS)
X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD)

Main Results:

Reversible liquid-solid transitions were observed upon heating alpha-CD/4MP solutions.
Five distinct crystalline phases were identified for the alpha-CD/4MP system.
Unit cell parameters indicated temperature-dependent changes, suggesting a crystallization pathway.
A model was proposed to explain the observed disorder-order transition.

Conclusions:

The alpha-CD/4MP system exhibits complex thermal phase behavior.
Multiple crystalline phases form and transform with temperature.
The findings provide a framework for understanding disorder-order transitions in such systems.
