Self-assembly behavior of inclusion complex formed by β-cyclodextrin with α-aminopyridine by Zhao, Yanli, Liu, Yu

“…An inclusion complex (1) has been prepared by β-cyclodextrin with α-aminopyridine The result of X-ray crystallographic analyses showed that the α-aminopyridine molecules in the β-cyclodextrin cavities possess two opposite orientations, i.e. the amine group of α-aminopyridine pointing to the primary side (1a, occupancy: 41.2%) or the secondary side (1b, occupancy: 58.8%) of β-cyclodextrin, forming two scalelike supramolecular aggregations. …”

Adams family values: Abigail and Louisa Catherine Adams and the influence of Europe on the 'Republican Courts' of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. (1789-1829) by Leeper, JL

“…By reconsidering the Adams women as major key players and facilitators of the republican court, we must conclude that the Adams women were far more complex political figures than has previously been suggested, and because of their efforts, European court culture and high society traditions played a far larger role in the founding of the American government than has previously been realized. …”
