Cyclodextrins (cyclooligosaccharides) are a family of macrocyclic receptors, which are able to<br />
form inclusion complexes with a wide variety of organic compounds. Physical-chemical and<br />
biological properties of guest molecules included into cyclodextrin cavity during the complex<br />
formation can be significantly mo<strong>di</strong>fied. An inclusion complexation phenomena of cyclodextrins<br />
determines their numerous practical applications. Primarily, cyclodextrins are used as<br />
solubilizing and stabilizing agents in cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as<br />
drug carriers. Therefore, the aim of present work was to reveal the capability of native and<br />
substituted -cyclodextrins to form inclusion complexes with caffeine and theophylline in<br />
aqueous solution. These alkyl substituted xanthines referred to the class of purine alkaloids are<br />
the substances of biological and pharmaceutical importance.<br />
Interactions of - and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrins with caffeine and theophylline in water at<br />
298.15 K were stu<strong>di</strong>ed by calorimetry, 1 H NMR and solubility methods. Systems with complex<br />
formation and weak interactions were characterized by the thermodynamic parameters of<br />
complexation (K, cG, cH and cS) and enthalpic virial coefficients (hxy), respectively.<br />
The obtained results demonstrate that:<br />
- -Cyclodextrins <strong>di</strong>splay low bin<strong>di</strong>ng affinity to caffeine and theophylline.<br />
- Structure of purine alkaloids influences the thermodynamics of interaction and bin<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
affinity of cyclodextrins. In comparison with theophylline, caffeine forms more stable<br />
complexes with -cyclodextrin.<br />
- Complex formation of -cyclodextrin with caffeine is enthalpy-entropy driven, whereas its<br />
bin<strong>di</strong>ng with theophylline is only entropically favourable. However, the entropy<br />
contribution in the free energy is dominant in both cases.<br />
- Partial substitution of OH-groups surroun<strong>di</strong>ng the -cyclodextrin molecule by<br />
hydroxypropyl-groups results in weakness of bin<strong>di</strong>ng. Probably, hydroxypropyl<br />
substituents may be too bulky hindering complexation of hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin<br />
with caffeine and theophylline.<br />
- Insignificant enhancement of aqueous solubility of purine alkaloids under study in the<br />
presence -cyclodextrin was observed.<br />

Ditopic ligands are those that have bin<strong>di</strong>ng sites for a cation and anion in a single covalent<br />
molecule and are effective ligands for transferring metal salts from aqueous to water-immiscible<br />
phases. [1-2] As such, <strong>di</strong>topic ligands provide an effective strategy for isolating metal value from<br />
mining leachates and provide access to more environmentally friendly metal recovery<br />
processes.<br />
Metal salts are extracted from the aqueous phase into the organic phase using a <strong>di</strong>topic ligand.<br />
The metal cation and anion can then be stripped into aqueous solution by adjusting the pH.<br />
Separate cation and anion stripping is effected by the <strong>di</strong>fferences in pKa of the cation and anion<br />
bin<strong>di</strong>ng sites (Fig. 1). This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of 1 and 2 as well as<br />
their efficacy as <strong>di</strong>topic metal salt extractants, thereby elaborating on the existing successful<br />
(but limited) motifs for <strong>di</strong>topic extractants for base metals. [3-4]<br />
