“…), has been selected for study, and two‐dimensional NOESY 1 H NMR spectroscopic, isothermal titration calorimetric, ITC, and rheological techniques have been used to characterize the host–guest complexation of the C12 substituents of PAAC12 in aqueous solution by the two β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) trimers, 1,3,5‐ N , N , N‐tris ‐(6 A ‐deoxy‐6 A ‐β‐cyclodextrin)‐benzene, β‐CD 3 bz, and 1,3,5‐ N , N , N‐tris (6 A ‐(2‐aminoethyl)amino‐6 A ‐deoxy‐6 A ‐β‐cyclodextrin)‐benzene, β‐CDen 3 bz, which are unusual because of their tritopic nature . Comparisons are made with the analogous host–guest interactions of the linked β‐CD dimers, N , N ′‐ bis (6 A ‐deoxy‐6 A ‐β‐cyclodextrin)urea, β‐CD 2 ur, and N , N ′‐ bis (6 A ‐deoxy‐6 A ‐β‐cyclodextrin)succinamide, β‐CD 2 su, and β‐CD with PAAC12 (Fig. ).…”
