Mono-altro-β-cyclodextrin (1), a β-cyclodextrin with one of the seven glucose units configurationally changed to an altrose, is shown to be a flexible host undergoing, upon intracavity inclusion of adamantane-1-carboxylate, a distinct conformational change within its altropyranose geometry, thus representing an induced-fit model of binding rather than one following the rigid lock-and-key type pattern.
