Regulation of main-chain conformation of permethyldecasilane by complexation with gamma-cyclodextrin
An absorption and emission spectroscopic study of an inclusion complex of permethyldecasilane (1) with gamma-cyclodextrin in water has shown that the silicon main chain of 1 has an alltrans rod-like conformation in the hydrophobic cavities of gamma-cyclodextrin at room temperature.
