So I read here that β-cyclodextrin has a cavity diameter of 6-6.5 angstrom while λ-cyclodextrin has a cavity diameter of 7.5-8.3 angstrom.
I counted up the lengths of carbon-carbon, carbon-hydrogen and carbon-oxygen bonds across the widest part of the 25c-NBOMe molecule, applying Pythagoras calculations where necessary to account for angles and got a rough figure of 8 angstrom. This suggests that gamma-cyclodextrin might be a better candidate for complexing than beta-cyclodextrin.
Any thoughts?
