Abstract
Thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric traces were recorded for several crystalline hydrated cyclodextrin complexes containing drug substances (salts of diclofenac, meclofenamate sodium, (L)-menthol) as guests. It was possible to reconcile observed thermal events for complex dehydration with three dimensional hydration patterns deduced from available X-ray crystal structures of the complexes. For complexes containing drug salts, strong retention of water molecules is attributed to their coordination to metal ions.
