Abstract
The electrical conductivities of aqueous solutions of sodium salts of trans-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (trans-p-coumaric acid), trans-3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid (trans-caffeic acid), trans-4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid, (trans-ferulic acid) and trans-3-phenylacrylic acid (trans-cinnamic acid) with α-cyclodextrin were measured in the temperature range of 288.15 K–318.15 K. For the first time in the literature, using the limiting molar conductivity obtained from conductivity measurements, the values of the complexation constants (Kf) of the salts of phenolic acid derivatives with α-cyclodextrin were determined using a modified low concentration chemical model (IcCM). An attempt was also made to analyze the individual thermodynamic functions , and describing the complexation process as a function of temperature changes. The obtained results show that the process of formation of inclusion complexes is exothermic and is spontaneous.
