Abstract

This paper reviews the results obtained from vibrational studies (infrared and Raman) of host-guest compounds. These techniques can give information such as: confirmation of inclusion compound formation; host-guest interactions; the state of aggregation and configuration of the guest molecules; the translational and rotational motions of the guest; the spectra of hosts and guests in unusual configurations.
