A water-soluble cavitand was shown to form 1:1 complexes with a series of acyclic and cyclic aliphatic carboxylic acids. Isothermal titration calorimetry was used to determine the standard molar enthalpy change (Delta H degrees) and binding constant (K-a), and hence the Gibbs free energy (Delta G degrees) and entropy (Delta S degrees) change for the different complexes. The thermodynamic determinations were carried out from 288 to 318K, allowing the standard molar heat capacity changes (Delta C-p degrees) also to be derived. Typical of the processes driven by the hydrophobic effect, Delta C-p degrees was observed to be proportional to the accessible (non-polar) surface area of the guest. The cyclic and acyclic guests displayed opposite trends; the heat capacity penalty upon binding increased with longer aliphatic chains, while the opposite was observed with the cyclic guests.
