Abstract Thermal behaviour of O,O'-dibenzoyl-(2R,3R)-tartaric acid (DBTA), its monohydrate, and its potential supramolecular compounds with achiral alcohols and phenols were investigated with TG, DSC, EGD. The structural differences among the anhydrous DBTA, its monohydrate, and the supramolecular derivatives were investigated with X-ray powder diffraction. The thermal behaviour of DBTA-supramoleculars with isopropyl, tert-butyl, and 5-cyclohexyl alcohols is found to be similar to each other but essentially different from that of both DBTA and its monohydrate. On heating they melt and decompose between 60–180°C while they loose in one or two steps the bound alcohol. The thermal stability of the supramolecular compounds increases with the boiling point of the alcohol component. According to the X-ray powder diffraction patterns each supramolecular substance has different structure, that may also result in the different thermal stability of the compounds. The molar ratio of DBTA:achiral alcohol samples is 1:1.01–1:1.57 estimated from the corresponding mass losses. The XRD patterns of the prepared two DBTA-phenol materials are different from those of DBTA-achiral alcohol samples. The phenol compounds melt with slow mass losses and give an endothermic peak between 73–83°C but the melting point of the anhydrous DBTA cannot be observed. DBTA:phenol molar ratio is estimated to be 1:0.41 and 1:0.65 for phenol and 2-methylphenol, respectively.
