Popis: The conformational study of dendritic platforms containing multiple β-cyclodextrin (βCD) units in the periphery is relevant to determine the availability of βCD cavities for the formation of inclusion complexes in aqueous biological systems. In this work, we performed a detailed conformational analysis in D2O, via 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy of a novel class of phosphorus dendritic compounds of the type P3N3-[O-C6H4-O-(CH2)n-βCD]6 (where n = 3 or 4). We unambiguously demonstrated that a functionalized glucopyranose unit of at least one βCD unit undergoes a 360° tumbling process, resulting in a deep inclusion of the spacer that binds the cyclodextrin to the phosphorus core inside the cavity, consequently limiting the availability of the inner cavities. In addition, we confirmed through NMR titrations that this tumbling phenomenon can be reversed for all βCD host units using a high-affinity guest, namely 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (AdCOOH). Our findings have demonstrated that it is possible to create a wide variety of multi-functional dendritic platforms.
