Abstract

Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to investigate geometry and driving forces for inclusion complexes of tolfenamic acid (TA) into β-CD (at 1:1 stoichiometry). Two possible orientations of TA in the β-CD cavity were considered. Both PM3MM and ONIOM2 method evidence that TA is encapsulated in the β-CD cavity for A and B orientation. Finally, charge transfer between the donor and acceptor orbitals of each TA and β-CD play an important role to stabilize the inclusion complex.
