The binding of cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylatodiamineplatinum(II) by α-cyclodextrin in aqueous solution

Abstract
Microcalorimetry and 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy have established that Pt(NH3)2(CBDCA)(CBDCA = cyclobutane-1,1-dicaboxylato) and α-cylodextrin (α-CD)form a 1:1 adduct in water with a standard free energy change (–ΔG) in the region of 10.4–13.0 kJ mol–1 at 22–25 °C.
