Description

Hexakis-6-Iodo-6-Deoxy-α-Cyclodextrin is a per-iodinated derivative of α-cyclodextrin, a cyclic oligosaccharide, where all six primary hydroxyl groups are substituted with iodine atoms. This chemical modification creates a versatile host molecule with enhanced binding properties for hydrophobic and halogen-bonding guest compounds in aqueous solutions. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for applications in molecular encapsulation, catalysis, and as a building block for advanced supramolecular assemblies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: As a host compound for solubility enhancement, stabilization, and controlled release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Catalysis & Synthesis: Employed as a catalyst or co-catalyst in organic synthesis, leveraging its cavity to influence reaction selectivity and rates.
• Material Science: Serves as a functional building block for creating novel polymers, gels, and nanostructured materials with specific host-guest properties.
• Analytical Chemistry: Used in chromatography as a chiral stationary phase component or as an additive in capillary electrophoresis for separation science.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Potential use in enhancing the delivery and efficacy of pesticides or herbicides through encapsulation.
• Supramolecular Chemistry: A key reagent for constructing complex molecular machines, sensors, and switchable systems based on halogen bonding.
