a All TCAs are in HCl form. b β-CD inclusion complexes with NRT [23]. c β-CD inclusion complexes with DPM [28]. d–f Interplanar angle of the A and B rings; Angle between C13–C12 and C14–C15; C13–C12–C15–C14 torsion angle (see atom numbering in Scheme 1). g When the β-CD O6-side points upwards, the positive (negative) values indicate that the TCA A/B/C-ring centroid is above (beneath) the β-CD O4-plane.
