Abstract
The crystal structure of the β-cyclodextrin (β-CyD) molecular complex with aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), salicylic acid, and water, (C42H70O35)2 (C9H8O4)2 (C7H6O3) 23.3H2O, was determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystal data is space group Pl, a=19.777(5), b=15.247(3), c=15.475(4) Å, α=102.63(2)°, β=116.96(2)°, γ=104.12(2)°, V=3729(2) Å3, Dm=1.409(2) g/cm3, DX=1.419 g/cm3, and Z=1. The two β-CyDs form a dimer unit with hydrogen bond networks among the secondary hydroxyl groups of both β-CyDs. This β-CyD dimer includes three guest molecules of two different types in its hydrophobic cavity. Two of them are aspirin, which are separately included in each cavity of the β-CyD unit, with their hydrophobic benzene rings protruding into the hydrophobic cavities of the host β-CyDs. The remaining guest molecule is the hydrolyzed product of an aspirin, that is salicylic acid, which is sandwiched in the space constructed by the β-CyD dimer formation, and is statistically disordered at three sites.
