Abstract: Inclusion of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (PL) was studied by surface tension, cloud point, color reaction and 1H NMR measurements. It was established that the inclusion of β-CD with PL affords supramolecular complexes with stoichiometric ratios of 2∶1 and 3∶1 in aqueous solution. Inclusion complex with the stoichiometry of 2∶1 arises from the incorporation of lauryl group of PL into the cavity of β-CD, whereas inclusion complex with the stoichiometry of 3∶1 arises from the incorporation of polyoxyethylene group of PL into the cavity of β-CD. A special configuration of the complex has been proposed based on experimental results and molecular sizes.
