“…The water solubility of these inclusion compounds enables detection of complex formation in solution by spectroscopic methods, such as NMR, UV, fluorescence, or circular dichroism spectroscopy, as well as by thermodynamic methods, e.g., microcalorimetry 60 or density, , or by solubility measurements. Likewise, mass spectrometry was used . The kinetics of complex formation are generally ultrafast, as no steric barrier has to be overcome .…”
