Stability constants (K) of cyclodextrin–prostaglandin complexes were determined by liquid chromatography. The retention times of some prostaglandins following the binding to α- and β-cyclodextrins in aqueous mobile phase on anion exchange support were quantitatively treated to yield the K values. The results were fair agreement with those obtained by spectroscopic and solubility methods.

Surface properties and catalytic activity for butene isomerization have been investigated for 12-molybdophosphoric acid. The surface area changed reversibly by dehydration and hydration below 300°C, but irreversible destruction was caused at 400°C. The catalytic activities per unit surface area were nearly constant. From these results and infrared spectra of pyridine adsorbed, strong protonic acidity probably of nearly uniform acid strength was concluded.
