Abstract: The hydrolysis of p-nitroanilide of perfluoroalkanoic acids, CF3 (CF2),, CO-, with n= 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, la-f, was studied in the presence of P-cyclodextrin (CD). All reactions were catalyzed by CD through the formation of a 1: l and 1: 2 inclusion complexes. The association equilibrium constants for the 1: l complexes were dependent on the number of carbons of the fluoroalkyl chain, whereas those of the 1: 2 complexes were almost ...
