Abstract

Semiempirical Austin model I (AM1) calculations have been performed on a family of inclusion complexes of heptakis(2-O-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin isomers derived from the 2-hydroxyl position (2HPβCD) and from the 6-hydroxyl position (6HPβCD) with alkylated phenol derivatives. From the stabilization energies and hydrogen bonding studies of the inclusion complexes of 2HPβCD and 6HPβCD with substituted phenols in head-first and tail-first positions, we found that the main driving forces for the formation of the inclusion complexes are from the van der Waals interactions. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
