Preparation and 13C NMR Identification of Solid Cyclodextrin Inclusion Compounds

Abstract

In this contribution it is shown that solid state 13C NMR is a powerful technique for the identification and study of cyclodextrin inclusion compounds. From the unique splitting pattern of the host lattice spectrum, Cd compounds can be identified, and under favourable conditions information about the stoichiometry and the asymmetric unit of the crystal can be obtained. It is also shown that spherical agglomeration techniques can be used to produce Cd inclusion compounds in a particularly convenient form.
