Abstract:

The interactions of alpha -cyclodextrin with adenine, thymine, uracil, cytosine, and caffeine in water at 298.15 K have been studied by the calorimetric method. alpha -Cyclodextrin is found to interact selectively with nucleic bases and their derivatives to form complexes with uracil, cytosine, and caffeine only. The influence of the structure and solvation of the reactants on the thermodynamic characteristics of their complexation in a solution has been examined.
