摘要
An analysis of the inherent features of cyclodextrins, void of water and crystal-lattice effects, has been undertaken with empirical force fields. It is found that these systems are not rigid and that symmetry breaking lowers the energies of these macrocycles. The highly symmetric structures portrayed in the literature are time-averaged views only.
