Abstract:
A 2:1 complex between cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin) and N-methylanthranilic acid has been studied in the solid state. The inclusion complex belongs to the triclinic system (space group P1) with unit cell dimensions a=15.2773(15)A, b=15.4710(15)A, c=17.9627(18)A, alpha=99.632(5) degrees , beta=113.416(5) degrees , and gamma=102.818(5) degrees . The complex forms a head-to-head channel-type structure with the N-methylanthranilic acid lying between the beta-cyclodextrin groups in a sandwich fashion, which is held in place by an extensive hydrogen-bonding network between the cyclodextrin molecules.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
