✦ Synopsis
An X-ray diffraction study was carded out on dimethyl-/3-cyclodextrin which crystallized from aqueous solution at 60°C without water of hydration. The molecule adopts a round shape which is stabilized by systematic intramolecular O-3-H.-. 0-2 hydrogen bonds between neighboring glucose units. The O-6-C-8 groups of three glucoses are oriented towards the molecular axis so that the cyclodextrin cavity is closed at one end. The remaining volume of the bowl-shaped cavity is occupied by part of the C-6-O-6-C-8 rim of a neighboring molecule (self-inclusion).
