Average cosine of angle between the water dipole and the direction vector from solute atom center to the water oxygen, of the water molecules in the first hydration shell (< 4 Å from any solute atom center) as a function of solute-solvent electrostatic coupling parameter, for various atoms in CB[7] (a) and β-CD (b). Only one monomeric unit is shown here for clarity. The red line corresponds to ⟨cosθ⟩ = 0.
