trans cinnamic acid/dental caries

The crystal structure of the 1:1 complex of beta-cyclodextrin (cyclomaltoheptaose) with trans-cinnamic acid was studied by X-ray diffraction. Two beta-cyclodextrin molecules related by a twofold crystal axis form dimers in the hydrophobic cavity of which, two guest molecules are entirely buried. The

A water-soluble octahedral Pd nanocage acting as a reaction vessel templates the photodimerization of substituted trans-cinnamic acid methyl esters in water. Irradiation of the host-guest complexes of trans-cinnamic acid methyl esters with the Pd nanocage resulted in selective formation of a syn

Cucurbit[8]uril and gamma-cyclodextrin are able to align two olefin molecules in a head-head fashion within their large cavities. Excitation of such templated olefins results in syn head-head cyclobutanes in nearly quantitative yields. The methodology revealed here works with trans-cinnamic acids
