Abstract Hydrated inclusion complexes of the hosts β-CD (CD=cyclodextrin), γ-CD and permethylated β-CD with the guest clofibric acid were analysed by TG and DSC methods to characterise their dehydration behaviours. Activation energies for dehydration of the β- and γ-CD clofibric acid complexes, determined by isothermal thermogravimetry, are significantly lower (∼20-25%) than those for the corresponding uncomplexed hydrated CDs. These data can be reconciled with X-ray structural data which show that H2O molecules in the complexes occupy different crystal sites from those occupied in the parent CDs.
