“…CDs have a frustum shape with primary hydroxyl groups (OH-6’s) on the narrower end (primary face) and secondary hydroxyl groups on the wider end (secondary face). Both faces of CDs feature polar groups, rendering them water-soluble, in their native forms; this makes CDs advantageous over other macrocyclic hosts [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. All native CDs display axial symmetry, with C3-H3 and C5-H5 bonds symmetrically oriented toward the center of the cavity.…”
