Abstract
A series of isomorphous clathrates(cyclosporin A: solvent = 1 : 1) is reported. Thestructure of the tetrahydrofuran (1) anddibutylether (2) clathrates have been determinedby X-ray single crystal diffraction. The cyclosporinmolecules in both structures are associated via vander Waals interactions forming cavities occupied bysolvent molecules. The structure refinement based onroom-temperature data sets show significant disorderof the side chains of the cyclosporin A molecule withno adequate model of the solvent molecule in bothstructures. In contrast, the position of dibutyletherwas successfully localised using a low-temperaturedata set for 2.
