Abstract
The complex formation of β-cyclodextrin with short chain aliphatic alcohols has been studied. The stability constants of 1∶1 complexes, determined spectrophotometrically, increase monotonically in the series of normal alcohols, while branching in the chain results in a further increase in stability. With smaller monoalcohols, complexes containing more than one guest molecule are formed as well, but the relative stability of these complexes decreases with increasing chain length and branching. The stabilities of 1∶1 complexes decrease with an increasing number of OH-groups, probably due to a stronger hydration. This reflects both the roles of space filling and hydrogen bridging
