Abstract: | Circular diochroism (CD) spectra of four p-nitrophenyl glycosides and their cycloamylose complexes were investigated at various concentrations of cycloamylose and at temperatures ranging from 20 to 60°C. The CD spectra of p-nitrophenyl glycosides changed remarkably in the presence of cycloamyloses, and significant differences in spectral shape and intensity were observed between the cyclohexaamylose complex and the cycloheptaamylose complex. The difference CD spectra between the free guest and its complex indicates that the nitrophenyl group is included in the cycloamylose cavity but its disposition is different between the complexes with cyclohexaamylose and cycloheptaamylose. Values of enthalpy and entropy of the cyclohexaamylose complex are considerably larger than those of the corresponding cycloheptaamylose complex, although the free energy differs only slightly. It is suggested that the nitrophenyl group is more loosely bound to the cycloheptaamylose cavity than to the cyclohexaamylose cavity, and has much more flexibility in its disposition. |
