“…In order to get an insight into the structures of the complexes of the secondary-hydroxy side-modified CyDs 3 and 4 with Trp, we measured 2D-ROESY 27,28 spectra, which are a powerful tool to explore conformations of host-guest complexes of CyDs. 15-18,28, 29 It is noted that in order to extract the information of the whole structure of the host-guest complex from 1 H NMR spectral data, it is essential to achieve unambiguous assignment of all the protons of a host and guest. However, the 1 H NMR spectra of 3 and 4, in the absence and presence of Trp, were too complicated to assign them fully.…”
