Abstract

The Host compound 2,2ʹ bis(1-hydroxy-4,5-dihydro-2,3:6,7-dibenzocycloheptatrien-1-yl)-biphenyl, H1, has been employed to discriminate between all the pairs of lutidine isomers. The preference for guest enclathration follows the sequence 3,4-LUT>2,4-LUT≈3,5-LUT>2,5-LUT>2,3-LUT>2,6-LUT. This has been confirmed by guest-release endotherms measured by DSC. Four other diol host compounds, H2–H5, were tested on pairs of lutidine isomers which were poorly separated by H1.
