Supramolecular polymers formed by cinnamoyl cyclodextrins
6-Cinnamoyl alpha-cyclodextrin (6-CiO-alpha-CD) and 6-cinnamoyl beta-cyclodextrin (6-CiO-beta-CD) were prepared. 6-CiO-alpha-CD formed intermolecular complexes to give supramolecular oligomers. 6-CiO-P-CD formed insoluble supramolecular complexes in the solid state. The structures of these complexes are discussed. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
