The physio-chemical properties of organic inclusion compounds

In this thesis the inclusion properties of the host compounds trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-bis(p-tert-butylphenyl)-9, 10-dihydroanthracene (TBDDDA), 9.9'-(Biphenyl-4,4'diyl) difluoren-9-ol (WEB24) and 1â ´ ,1â ¶,5â ´,5â ¶-tetrahydroxy-2,4,6,8-tetrapentyl-3â ´,3â ¶,7â ´,7â ¶-tetra(p-toluenesulfonyl-oxy)-1,3,5, 7(1,3)-tetrabenzenacyclooctaphane (TTRSC) were investigated. Each of these host compounds is bulky and rigid and in addition contains high-affinity functional groups which can engage in specific host-guest interactions, such as hydrogen bonding.
