A brief introduction to solution thermodynamics and microcalorimetric techniques is given. The areas of titration and dissolution microcalorimetry applied to the studies of macrocyclic ligand binding processes are discussed. As an illustration, the results of a microcalorimetric study involving the binding of a series of alkane-1-01s to a-cyclodextrin are reviewed and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
