摘要
An approach mainly based on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was developed to evaluate the stoichiometric ratio (SR, guest to host) of the guest-伪-cyclodextrin (Guest-伪-CD) inclusion complexes (4-cresol-伪-CD, benzyl alcohol-伪-CD, ferrocene-伪-CD and decanoic acid-伪-CD). The present data obtained from Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy showed that all the 伪-CD-based inclusion complexes were successfully prepared in a solid-state form. The stoichiometric ratios of 伪-CD to the relative guests (4-cresol, benzyl alcohol, ferrocene and decanoic acid) determined by the developed method were 1:1, 1:2, 2:1 and 1:2, respectively. These SR data were well demonstrated by the previously reported X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and the NMR confirmatory experiments, except the SR of decanoic acid with a larger size and longer chain was not consistent. It is, therefore, suggested that the TGA-based method is applicable to follow the stoichiometric ratio of the polycrystalline 伪-CD-based inclusion complexes with smaller and shorter chain guests.
