Study of β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with volatile molecules geraniol and α-terpineol enantiomers in solid state and in solution

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Geraniol and α-terpineol are insoluble in water volatile compounds. α-Terpineol is a potentially important agent for medical applications. Formation of molecular complexes with β-cyclodextrin would lead to the increase of water solubility and bioavailability. β-Cyclodextrin forms 2:2 inclusion complexes with both enantiomers of α-terpineol and their precursor geraniol. Solid state complexes are thoroughly characterized by single X-ray crystallography and their stability over vast range of temperatures is proven by TG analysis. Intermolecular host-guest, host-host and guest-guest interactions give good insight into the nature of formed inclusion complexes. Stability constants of the complexes in solution are determined by HPLC

Inclusion complexes of α-cyclodextrins with poly(d,l-lactic acid) : structural, characterization, and glass transition dynamics

Poly (d,l-lactic acid) (PDLLA) was combined with α-CD to form inclusion complexes (ICs) with distinct PDLLA fractions. The structural changes resulting from this coalescence process were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The presence of both components in the ICs was confirmed byFTIR. The encapsulated PDLLA fraction was quantified by 1H NMR. XRD data evidenced that it was possible to transform the amorphous PDLLA into a well-organized channel-type crystalline structure. DSC showed that the glass transition temperature of the PDLLA fraction in the ICs was higher than in the pure polymer, indicating that the ultra-confinement effect imposed by the ICs organization clearly limits PDLLA molecular dynamics. The confinement effect on the glass transition dynamics was investigated by unconventional dynamic mechanical analysis experiments, which confirmed that ICs segmental mobility is highly restricted when compared with the one of pure PDLLA. Bulk PDLLA presents a typical VFTH behavior while the ICs dynamics shows an Arrhenius trend.Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) for financial support through the PTDC/FIS/115048/2009 project and to the NMR Portuguese network (PTNMR, Bruker Avance III 400-Univ.
