Abstract
The formation and geometry of the hyodeoxycholic acid (HDCA)/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) complex in methanol-d4 solution was determined through a rotating frame nuclear Overhauser (ROESY) experiment. The reported results confirmed those independently and previously obtained though the use of 13C complexation shifts in the same solvent. The 13C approach, which needs shorter experimental times and is currently used in the study of HPβCD/bile acid systems, was then substantiated.
