Energies (kcal/mol) of the isomers (C₁₆₂H₂₇₀O₇₅) of β-CD/PCL differing in the DP, DS, and β-CD-substituted position (OH-2 or OH-3): Types (A, B, C, D) are explained in Figure 8.

Substitution Position of β-CD	DP = 20 DS = 1	DP = 5 DS = 4 Type A	DP = 5 DS = 4 Type B	DP = 5 DS = 4 Type C	DP = 5 DS = 4 Type D
OH-2	−232.028	−266.359	−313.119	−302.218	−267.362
OH-3	−226.762	−258.627	−310.287	−275.790	−265.445
