    Abstract:
    A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the title complex carried out at room temperature revealed space group P2(1), a = 21.199(12), b = 9.973(3), c = 15.271(8) A, beta = 110.87(3) degrees, V = 3017(3) A3, 4681 unique reflections with Fo greater than 1 sigma (Fo). The structure was refined to R = 0.069, resolution lambda/2sin theta max = 0.89 A. The crystal packing is of the cage type and is isomorphous to that of beta-cyclodextrin (beta CD) dodecahydrate. One 1,4-butanediol and approximately 1.25 water molecules are enclosed in each beta CD cavity. The hydroxyl groups of the 1,4-butanediol molecule are located at each end of the cavity and form hydrogen bonds with neighboring water and beta CD molecules. The flexible (CH2)4 moiety vibrates extensively in the central part of the cavity. Water molecules and hydroxyl groups are chelated between O-6 and O-5 of at least five glucose residues.
