Encapsulation of Polyhedral Borane Cluster trans-[B20H18]2- in Cyclodextrins: Stabilizing Effect in Aqueous Solution.
The preparation of polyhedral boranes/cyclodextrin (CD) inclusion complexes was studied to develop novel supramolecular assemblies that could be useful for biological applications. The encapsulation of the trans-[B20H18]2- anion in cyclodextrins was investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, isot...
