“…More thoroughly, the isothermal (fixed temperature) and isochronal (fixed frequency) experimental data of α-CD and β-CD hydrates have revealed the following issues: (i) at temperatures lower than~230.0 K, the former system displays no order-disorder transition of the existing hydrogen bonds and consequently no important variation of its dielectric permittivity (ε′) and loss (ε″); (ii) on the contrary, the latter system exhibits considerable order-disorder phenomena below~230.0 K being consistent with concerted proton reorientations that make a great contribution to the relevant dielectric properties; (iii) both the dielectric permittivity (ε′) and loss (ε″) of these two systems increase rapidly above~230.0 K due to the rise of the dc-conductivity which involves extensive proton transfer. Moreover, it should be emphasized that our recent dielectric investigations (in combination with FT-Raman and thermal analysis methods) on a series of hydrated metal-polyiodide inclusion complexes of α-CD and β-CD have also proven to be very rewarding [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. To the best of our knowledge, the present work comprises the first dielectric relaxation study of γ-CD hydrate in the solid state.…”
