Inclusion Complexes of 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene with Per-Modified β- and γ-Cyclodextrins.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we report the synthesis of inclusion complexes (ICs) based on 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) with permethylated β-cyclodextrins (TMe-βCD) and permethylated γ-cyclodextrins (TMe-γCD) host molecules. To prove the synthesis of such ICs, molecular docking simulation, UV-vis titrations in water, ¹H-NMR, and H-H ROESY, as well as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectroscopy (MALDI TOF MS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were carried out on each of the EDOT∙TMe-βCD and EDOT∙TMe-γCD samples. The results of computational investigations reveal the occurrence of hydrophobic interactions, which contribute to the insertion of the EDOT guest inside the macrocyclic cavities and a better binding of the neutral EDOT to TMe-βCD. The H-H ROESY spectra show correlat
