“…[1][2][3] The characteristic truncated-cone shape of CDs, having an inner hydrophobic cavity and an external hydrophilic surface, give them the remarkable property of acting as molecular hosts in the formation of inclusion complexes with a wide variety of hydrophobic guest molecules having appropriate chemical affinity, shape, and size. 1,2,4,5 The formation of such supramolecular aggregates is a well-assessed phenomenon with important applications covering a broad range of fields, including chiral separations, 6 drug delivery and targeting, 7-11 food chemistry, 12 and sensors. 13 This fact, added to the relatively simple production process, the absence of toxicity, and the low costs of CDs, which make them ideal materials for industrial uses, has motivated, for several decades, a considerable interest in CD.…”
